Carey Loh moves from WPP Media to lead Havas Media Network Singapore

Carey Loh has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Havas Media Network Singapore, marking his return to the Havas group after 14 years.
Prior to this role, Loh served as Client President for WPP Media in Singapore from May 2025 until October 2023, and previously held leadership positions at GroupM and Mindshare.
Loh has extensive experience in the Greater China region, having worked with major brands and agencies, including a significant tenure at MEC where he managed key accounts for Microsoft, GE, and Rémy Martin.
His career spans nearly three decades in digital, media, and client leadership roles across Singapore, Mainland China, and Hong Kong, with a focus on technology, luxury, finance, and hospitality sectors.

Carey Loh has joined Havas Media Network Singapore as Chief Executive Officer, marking a return to the Havas fold for the seasoned agency leader. He announced the appointment on LinkedIn, writing, "I'm happy to share that I'm starting a new position as Chief Executive Officer at Havas Media Network Singapore!"

Loh comes over from WPP Media, where he was Client President for Singapore from May 2025 until this month. He first held the position at GroupM from December 2024 and continued in it after the network was rebranded as WPP Media.

Before that, Loh spent over seven years at Mindshare in Singapore. He joined in September 2017 as Managing Partner for Client Leadership and was elevated to Managing Director in January 2021, a position he held until November 2024. He was also Managing Partner at EightBar between September 2017 and March 2021.

Much of Loh's career was built in Greater China. At MEC, he spent seven years across Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. In Beijing, he served as General Manager and client lead on Microsoft's global advertising and media activities in China between 2010 and 2014, handling Windows 7, Windows 8, Internet Explorer, Surface and the Microsoft Store. He then headed MEC's Shanghai office as Managing Director, also leading the GE and Rémy Martin accounts, before moving to Hong Kong in 2015 as Managing Partner and Client Lead for regional accounts such as Marriott International APAC and Blackrock APAC.

Loh's roots lie in the dot-com era, when he co-founded the Singapore-based digital agency earth9.com in 1998. After over seven years there, he moved to Beijing, working with Digitas North America before joining Euro RSCG, part of Havas, as Business Director for Interaction. He then led Starcom IP in China, driving digital expansion for brands such as P&G and Cartier.

He also served as Head of Digital for Havas Media Group in Beijing in 2009, supporting integrated marketing communications and new business development for clients such as Swire Properties.

Across a career spanning nearly three decades, Loh has held digital, media and client leadership roles in Singapore, Mainland China and Hong Kong, working with global clients across technology, luxury, finance and hospitality. Havas Media Network is part of Havas, one of the world's largest communications groups. The role marks his first position within the group since 2009.
