Virtue APAC, the agency by VICE, has promoted Fiona Knight to the newly created role of head of account management following rapid growth across the region.

Lesley John, managing director of Virtue APAC said: “Fiona is a strategic thinker with a broad range of experience leading big brands across digitally-led as well as traditional agencies. She builds strong client-agency relationships and has excelled at effectively running accounts, underpinned by a great ability to create and manage teams. As Virtue continues to build brands from the inside of culture, Fiona will play a key role in shaping our next phase of growth across the region.”

Knight added: “Working at Virtue for the past two years, I’ve seen first hand how using a culture-led approach is such a strong and compelling proposition that truly sets Virtue apart. I’m delighted to be stepping into a leadership role in the agency to drive that work further and expand our existing client relationships, as we continue to grow the account management team across the region.”
