“I am pleased that we have been able to attract a talent of the magnitude of Sophie to Red and, this bodes well in our ability to continue to be the most creatively awarded agency in the Caribbean, despite some recent changes in management.
Sophie has both a Caribbean and a world view and that will add a lot of new thinking to Red’s offering.
Her previous agency is one that I hold in high regard, so combining the thinking of the largest agency in the Caribbean with that of the most creative agency in the Caribbean is sure to be a winning formula!
I am looking forward to great results going forward.
Welcome aboard Sophie!”
