Introducing our Founder and Managing Partner, Gordan Domlija
In 25 years of media, marketing and communication industry experience, I have a proven track record of growing business through building brands and culture. This has been achieved with honesty, integrity and a passion for learning and people development. It has resulted in spectacular revenue growth, and global personal and agency recognition, including:
Campaign Asia-Pacific Agency Head of the Year 2021 & 2022
Performance Agency of the Year Greater China 2022
Data & Analytics Agency of the Year Greater China 2022
Agency of the Year wins including India, Indonesia, Philippines 2022
My expertise, established in over 15 years of business leadership in the region, is in growing business in China and Asia-Pacific.
I help brands, at differing stages of maturity or development, to realise their goals and ambitions. I bring my extensive experience in building brands, culture and high performing teams to businesses that want to understand their market opportunity, how to grow their customer base and to succeed in this dynamic digital environment.
I bring independence and objectivity to an industry that is too often subjective, ego-driven and vested in the status quo.
This creates value, through rigour in understanding how your investment decisions contribute to business goals, creating more effective and efficient marketing.
Here's a brief history;
I started my career at Zenith Media via Saatchi & Saatchi in London, working in the integrated P&G agency. My journey took me from buying to strategy, to comms planning at a London independent. Here I built early interest and expertise in growth planning for start-ups and challengers, creating huge impact with small budgets for brands such as King of Shaves, WKD and Paddy Power, fuelling my passion for innovative problem solving.
In 2005, seeing an opportunity in organic products and lifestyle trends, I started an e-commerce business, theorganicskinstore.com, while ultimately it did not make me rich, it gave me first hand experience of managing my own marketing and acquisition budgets. I continue to apply the same care to my clients' investments as I did to my own.
In 2008 I accepted the offer to move to a new culture and challenge in China. My first role was at Mindshare, Managing Director, responsible for accelerating business performance, content planning and strategic capability through leadership of our assignments with clients such as Unilever, Nike, Land Rover and L'Oréal.
In 2015, after two years as Chief Strategy Officer at Mediacom, I joined MEC as China CEO, doubling revenue within 2 years through digital capability building and an aggressive new business drive.
In 2017 I led the launch of Wavemaker in China and North Asia, successfully merging two agencies into one formidable company, with an unrivalled entrepreneurial culture. In 2018 I took the role of CEO Wavemaker Asia-Pacific. Growing the business to the #2 agency network in the region, with over 2,500 people and 500 clients across 33 offices in 17 countries.
Transformation of businesses, talent, capability and product are at the heart of everything I have done and achieved in my career, and this experience is is now being used to create value for entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, business owners, and the marketing and financial communities.
