Bernard Teo

CEO, Founder @YouAdMe

Having spent 20 years in the Media & Entertainment industry, I have personally witnessed the complete transformation of the media sphere. Digital Disruption took veterans and newcomers alike – with the rise of the Internet and mobile platforms, the industry as we knew it was forever changed.

Creativity runs in my blood – as a composer and musician for international record label Warner Music, a Managing Director of an Advertising Studio, before founding a full-service Creative Agency.

In this time, I have amassed an array of homegrown and international brands under my belt and provided a range of strategy, design, technology and advertising solutions to my clients. As a veteran of the industry, I believe that traditional media is not dead and that conversations should be broadened to include not just platforms but the individual.

In the current state of things, where individuals are saturated with a barrage of audio and visual advertising, I believe the key to cutting through this is reigniting individual relationships between brands and consumers. It was with this belief that I founded YOUADME, to focus on providing solutions for brands to reach out to the consumer in this new digital era.
