I am Anthony and this is what you need to know:As Managing Director of ERA, over the last 10 years I led our office from 0 people and an idea to a leading regional consultancy. I not only support our business and its people, but get my hands dirty in client strategy, advisory and service. After a coup in Myanmar, we expanded our firm across the region to keep our story alive.With around 15 years of experience in public affairs and strategic communications, I've dedicated my career to using communications skills to drive positive change in society, and I use a passion for business leadership to grow strong foundations from which to do this work. My strengths in winning clients have connected me with purpose-driven groups, whose trust has allowed my teams to effect meaningful change and be recognized doing so: such as winning SE Asia PR Campaign of the Year three years in a row, and being named a PRovoke PR Consultancy of the Year in 2021 and 2022, and Campaign's Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar Independent Agency of the Year in 2021 and 2022.We ranked in the top 5 creative PR firms in the world in 2021 and 2022, and in 2023 were recognized as the #3 most creative PR consultancy in Asia-Pacific (Source: PRovoke Global Creative Index). Over 8 years, we were nominated for 130+ top industry awards, and took home 50+ of them, many gold.Throughout my journey, I've had the honor of being recognized professionally by industry bodies such as PR Week, Campaign Magazine, the Global SABRE Awards, PRovoke Media, #Innovator25, PublicAffairsAsia, Spikes Asia, Mumbrella and others. Originally from Texas, my obsession for, and belief in, the power of PR as a force for good has taken me all over the world and allowed me to take a leading role in developing work for clients such as Coca-Cola, Unilever, Diageo, the World Health Organization, United Nations, Samsung, Meta, Mastercard, the World Bank, Google, Microsoft, Abbott, Johnson & Johnson and more.I believe creativity applied wisely in any discipline of communications has the power to spark monumental shifts in behavior, and foster harmony between business, government and society. I will use my skills in behavior change/science, reputation management, public affairs and creativity to make a difference wherever I can.Jury Roles & Honors:Cannes Lions Delegate 2023PR Week 2023APAC SABRE Awards 2017, 2021Campaign PR Professional of the Year (Agency) 2021Campaign 40-under-40 2018PRovoke #Innovator25 2020Would love to be in touch with like-minded communicators!
