Jon Kee has joined VaynerMedia as the new Head of Client Partnership, Asia Pacific, ready to elevate the agency’s client relationships.

“Jon is a rare find –– a seasoned marketer and business leader with a futuristic vision and remarkable humility. He will be a crucial bridge between us and our client partners," said Tim Lindley, managing director, VaynerMedia Asia Pacific. "These relationships are frequently tested; driving change requires bravery and commitment from our clients, and empathy and hard work from our team. I am particularly excited about his non-traditional background, as it means that he hasn't been shaped by conventional advertising agency norms. This allows him to approach the future unencumbered by outdated preconceptions. I have no doubt that Jon's unique perspective will propel VaynerMedia to new heights across the region.” 

With over two decades of experience in the digital, advertising, media, and entertainment industries, Jon is a seasoned business leader known for forging strategic C-level partnerships and leading successful sales, business development, and marketing initiatives. 

“My two-decade career has always been aligned around digital — it made perfect sense to join a culture that is trailblazing and rewriting marketing with social at its core. The agency's authentic, people-centric focus and Gary's visionary leadership in driving accountable business results are truly game-changing,” said Jon Kee. “The exciting growth in APAC under the leadership of Tim has been particularly exciting, and I am thrilled to join VaynerMedia Asia Pacific and continue being part of that evolution.” 

Jon assumes his role with immediate effect and reports to Tim Lindley, succeeding Shrey Khetarpal who recently undertook a new role as the head of consulting, Asia Pacific at VaynerMedia. 

”I also want to take a moment to thank Shrey, who has built a brilliant foundation for Jon to build upon. Shrey moves to lead our Consulting division, and will be a key partner to Jon as we embark on the next stage of our journey,” added Tim.

Jon's professional journey took him through dynamic companies such as Disney, Meta, and Yahoo!, spanning growth markets across Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
