MediaCom has announced the promotion of Bebhinn Carey, currently marketing and PR director for MediaCom AUNZ, to communications director APAC.

The agency has endured some testing times and come out of them stronger thanks in part to Bebhinn’s strategic advice and coolness under pressure.

“I’m delighted that we could fill this role internally as Bebhinn’s intimate knowledge of our people, clients, culture and product are all factors that will make her an undoubtable success. She will certainly help the whole region raise its game in communications.”

There’s such a huge opportunity to celebrate the great work that MediaCom is doing across APAC on behalf of our clients & people. I’m humbled by the opportunity and I can’t wait to get started!” s
