Labstore launch last week. This promises to be a stellar year for
Y&R Singapore and I’m absolutely thrilled to have Komal onboard
at a critical time. Beyond her many creative achievements, she
thrives on new business challenges as can be seen from Rediffusion
Y&R’s resurgence. We had an instant connection when I shared my
intent for the agency and I am looking forward to have her add her
many strengths towards continued agency growth and success.”
Komal’s advertising journey started 23 years ago after stints in
