Under the appointment, W Communications will lead brand storytelling, media relations, influencer engagement and event amplification across the MHD portfolio, with a focus on craftsmanship, heritage and modern luxury tailored to Singapore audiences.

“Representing the Moët Hennessy Diageo portfolio is both a privilege and a pleasure,” said Robin Chang, general manager of W Communications APAC. 

Chang emphasised, “These are brands that have defined celebrations for generations, from the clink of a Veuve Clicquot glass to the pour of Hennessy over ice. We’re thrilled to build on the incredible legacy of MHD’s Maisons and bring their spirit to life for a new generation of Singaporean tastemakers.”

The partnership began in late 2025 with Cloudy Bay’s 40th anniversary celebration in Singapore, marking the New Zealand winery’s 2025 Vintage launch with a dinner at AIR CCCC in Dempsey. 

This was followed by the local launch of Dom Pérignon’s 2025 artist collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, one of only three global events for the project, hosted as an immersive pop-up experience for media and influencers.

The win adds to W Communications’ growing presence in the luxury and lifestyle sectors in the region. 

The agency offers integrated services spanning communications strategy, creative activation and digital marketing, and recently launched its influencer marketing arm, HelloFranses!, in Asia.

Founded in the UK by Chloe Franses, the consultancy has grown to a 20-person team and has worked with brands such as Disney, Hublot, Aston Martin and Bacardi. It has also delivered award-winning work for POP MART. With its APAC expansion, the consultancy aims to tap into the region’s creator-driven markets.

HelloFranses! offers end-to-end influencer marketing services, including strategy development, creator selection, content creation, paid amplification and analytics. The consultancy also uses a proprietary technology platform for content management and reporting.

As part of its regional launch, HelloFranses! will begin directly representing influencers, Key Opinion Leaders and emerging celebrities in APAC, with a focus on luxury and global markets. It will also broker partnerships and sponsorships by connecting brands with aligned partners, events and platforms.

The expansion includes a new Partnerships and Sponsorships division, designed to link brands and creators through collaborations that extend beyond awareness to business impact. The consultancy will also support the development of co-created products, branded content and long-term creator relationships.

HelloFranses!’s Giveback initiative will be offered regionally, providing mentorship, wellbeing support and guidance for emerging creators through workshops, coaching and access to global studio hubs.

“Southeast Asia is a creator powerhouse, from Singapore’s pop-culture disruptors to Indonesia’s TikTok titans. Brands here have moved beyond influencer marketing as a numbers game and towards authentic creator partnerships that build real-life communities. HelloFranses! gives them exactly that. It is creativity with a conscience, powered by data, and delivered with a little W charm. We see this as the next chapter in helping our clients and creators thrive together across the region,” said Robin Chang, general manager of W Communications APAC.

“Authentic human voices have always been powerful as they drive trust and connection. Whether it’s a micro-creator engaging their community or a celebrity inspiring millions, the influencer industry will always have people at its heart. HelloFranses! was created to celebrate and champion that,” added Chloe Franses, CEO of HelloFranses!.

HelloFranses! Asia will collaborate closely with W Communications’ Singapore office, which works with brands including 1664, Moët Hennessy Diageo, Deliveroo, Hilton and Geneco. The launch aims to strengthen the agency’s ability to deliver influencer-led and social-first campaigns across Southeast Asia.
