“I am extremely excited at the appointment,” says Christopher, while adding: “our business having been an industry leader in the past, is returning to its hay days, our success is based on our clients success. As we build brands in this tough economic environment, our industry needs to realise that while our professional competencies are our entry ticket to the party, the value of genuine relationship building, through cutting edge thought-leading solutions, is the request to dance. Interbrand Sampson has always been considered a trusted advisor, I plan to defend and grow this positioning, while further instilling our professionalism and returning the intimacy.”
