“We’re not just expanding geographically; we’re expanding our impact, helping agencies become more efficient, and laying down frameworks for their sustained success”.
“I’m thrilled to be joining the Tangram team and can’t wait to get building the UK arm of the business and establishing ourselves in EMEA,” said Chiu .
“I have previously worked with Helen and the team for many years, witnessing firsthand the remarkable talent and expertise they bring to agencyland”.
