James Hawkins, President, Dentsu Digital Capabilities South/Southeast Asia; Chief Executive Officer, Dentsu Mobius

Dentsu Möbius is the brandchild of James Hawkins. With over 12 years of experience in digital marketing – half in Asia – he saw the opportunity in the region for a more progressive agency that, simply put, delivers. After 12 months of business planning and a whole lot of passion, James successfully received the backing of the Dentsu Network/ Asia to make his vision a reality.
 
Under James’ leadership, Dentsu Möbius has become a digital centre of excellence for the network that lives up to its mission of ‘widening the gap between digital leaders and digital followers’. It’s an agency that is doing things differently to ensure a competitive advantage for its clients; that shares in the success of its partners; that understands how to best bridge consumer behaviour with business objectives; and finally, one that effectively delivers on end-to=end digital solutions.
 
James’ background lies in performance media and he has worked with agencies in the U.K, Australia, India, and now Singapore. He has experience leading digital activity across key verticals such as finance (American Express), travel (Singapore Airlines), consumer electronics (Apple), retail (comet) and non-profit (Cancer Research UK).
 
What’s more, James puts talent at the heart of Dentsu Möbius. He has an exceptional ability to identify and cultivate diverse, best-in-class talent that come together to produce bespoke, creative solutions for clients. He understands the human aspects involved in the delivery of great work, which enables him to naturally motivate the agency team and build trust with clients. This ultimate lays the foundation for Dentsu Möbius’ ensuring partnerships in Asia-Pacific.
