Following a string of new business wins, The Upper Storey has moved quickly to staff up, hiring four account/project managers recently and now adding two seasoned professionals to its roster. Effective July, Enrique Pinilla comes on board as Director of Operations and Taufik Rahim as a senior project manager. This most recent move is aimed at further growing the agency’s delivery capabilities.

Enrique, a dual citizen of the United States and Colombia, previously held the same post at Captura Group, a multi-cultural digital agency based in San Diego, California USA.  Prior to which he co-founded Complete Online Marketing Solutions, a digital agency catering to the legal and healthcare verticals.  His professional interests within the realm of digital marketing include search engine marketing and optimisation, affiliate marketing, lead generation, e-commerce, analytics, social media marketing, ROI/ROAS analysis and CPA TV advertising. Clients he has consulted for include the US Federal Government, PayPal, Skype, Super Glue Corporation, and Fortune 100 insurance firm Allstate.

Taufik, on the other hand, is a homegrown talent. He has been in the industry for 11 years – three as a developer and the last eight in project management roles. He has spent time at digital agencies XM and i2k and word-of-mouth agency Vocanic. His body of work includes assignments for Nokia, Samsung, Starhub and the Health Promotion Board.

Client services director and agency co-founder Prakash Kamdar said, “We have always prided ourselves on investing strategically in top talents, locally and abroad. The seniority and management experience in our ranks today places us in prime position to fuel the growth of digital marketing opportunities now and in the years ahead. I’m delighted to have Enrique and Taufik on board.”

Business development director Euan Wilcox added, “Any good digital agency requires great thinking in tandem with solid delivery. TUS’s solid foundation in technology and operations just got even stronger.”

Having first set up shop in 2001, The Upper Storey today has offices in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Mumbai. Its clients include Nokia, Dell, Intel, Nikon, NOL, LG and the Singapore Tourism Board, among others.
