Summary

Lars Voedisch, founder and CEO of Singapore-based Precious Communications, explains how a startup mindset, regional expansion and a business-first approach to communications built his agency to 100 people across eight markets. We discuss the practical playbook for scaling in Southeast Asia, why global networks are ceding the mid-market, how AI is reshaping the execution/strategy split, and where Precious is betting next. Voedisch gives tactical advice for new agency founders — land, prove execution, then expand — and argues the future winners will be those who move from campaign work to business advisory.
