The best solutions require a balance of data married with brilliant creative, according to Dominic Leung, Group Strategy Officer at Cognito. Understanding the patterns (which are revealed by data) provides the platform for the experimentation and innovation that leads to great jazz music and great creativity that clients need and expect. This combination – and a deep sector focus – has given Cognito permission to work with clients across the value chain – from consulting to execution, all with an eye on unlocking business growth.
Dominic is a brand strategy expert and specializes in disrupting markets and businesses, servicing Cognito’s global client base as well as formalizing the establishment of the brand consulting practice within specialty sectors. He is an experienced leader in brand and go-to-market strategy with an ability to translate future trends into opportunities.
Previously, Dominic was at Interbrand, TBWA and has held roles across all disciplines in marketing from digital execution through to M&A strategy.
