Marine, with more than 25 years of extensive PR and branding experiences in the FMCG and MNCs industries, is the sole founder for absolute PR. She started her own PR agency to bridge the service standards back then where she felt that as a PR consultant, one should be able to advise, anticipate and advocate from the client’s perspectives, just like an extension of a family where one looks out for one and another.
Tell us about the leadership team.
The leadership team in absolute PR is one that is very nurturing and hands on. They basically walk the talk and are always on the look-out for the juniors to ensure they not only have a great exposure of learning opportunities across all job scope but as well as across the different portfolios of clients they attend to. The learning curves are as real as it can get!
What skill sets do you look for in new hires?

In a sentence, describe your ideal relationship with a journalist.
A Cup of Coffee, A Call or a Catch Up, Any Time, Any Where.
How has COVID change things in your agency?
COVID is a powerful teacher who has taught us nothing is impossible, it’s all in the mind. We have been contemplating for the longest time to actually work from home where everyone need not report to work, day in day out. COVID came and decided it for all. We have not been in the office for the longest time for more than half a year and things worked out well.
We have also collaborated with partners around the world where we didn’t think it was possible before covid and things just happened.
Our agency had worked things out well during the pandemic with many exciting projects coming up nicely towards 2022 and I am proud of how far the team has achieved so far.
What’s next for your agency?
Looking ahead in 2022 – 2023, we definitely want to expand our global network where we look for like-minded agencies to collaborate.
