OMNICOM Media Group Asia-Pacific has launched Airwave, a newly formed specialist business unit which brings together the strategic and activation capabilities of its agencies OMD and PHD in the mobile space.

It says in a statement that the new organisation of talent and partnerships will help drive market-leading data, targeting and experiential capabilities across the dynamic media and devices segments in the region.

Cupples: ‘The Asia-Pacific region is poised to be a dominant player in the global mobile marketplace.’

“Airwave has the best experts within the mobile industry that will supercharge our capabilities in this space, enhancing our value-proposition in the industry,” he says.
