PHILADELPHIA, July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Global event marketing agency VOK DAMS has announced the relaunch of its U.S. office, with operations to begin in August 2018 in the Philadelphia region. Richard Stewart, formerly the agency's Business Director for Greater China, has been named Managing Director, VOK DAMS North America.

The move indicates a further strategic focus on the U.S. market by Germany's leading agency for events and live marketing. "As a global agency, we are constantly evaluating and optimizing our offerings to best meet the needs of our clients," explained Colja Dams, CEO, VOK DAMS Group. "We produce several events in the U.S. in any given year, and by re-starting our U.S. office we send a clear signal to our clients that we are committed to continue strengthening our family of event experts around the world."

Stewart joined VOK DAMS in 2014 and was part of a senior management team that transformed VOK DAMS China into an award-winning full-service agency offering a suite of live and digital brand experiences. "Richard has been instrumental to our growth in China and, with extensive previous management experience in the U.S., we know he will continue to build on his track record of strategic growth and operational excellence in this leadership role," said Dams.  

On plans for VOK DAMS North America, Stewart noted: "We believe that, in the experience economy, live campaigns are central to the success of integrated brand marketing strategies. And our clients know that they can depend on our repeatable expertise in agile event management, quality assurance and data protection.  These dynamics will drive our development in the U.S., where we will work as an agile startup agency backed by a high performing global team."

The agency listed proximity to key clients and access to a vibrant creative community as reasons to be based in the Philadelphia region. "We have a number of longstanding partners in the U.S. who have a history of delivering outstanding results for our clients," said Stewart. "We look forward to strengthening these relationships and creating new ones, starting with new hires and collaborations in 2018."
