| Introduction | During the day, the PR Hack goes by the name of Eileen Paat, specializing on Brandbuilding and Public Relations for CHI Communications, a young hotshot boutique public relations and marketing communications agency based in Saigon. Previous to CHI Comms., the PR Hack worked for T&A Communications, one of Vietnam’s oldest and established PR companies, handling and developing a diversified multinational client base. Life is great in Vietnam and the opportunities to help develop the PR and marcom industry in Vietnam was a natural draw for The PR Hack. Before migrating to Vietnam coincidentally during its accession to WTO membership, the PR Hack was steeped in public relations consulting in the Kingdom of Thailand for Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide Bangkok office for more than 7 years, handling mostly IT and technology, consumer lifestyle, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, aviation and services accounts. On most days now, she likes to blog a lot about her life in Saigon and the many interesting things she encounters and learns everyday. Current favorite vacation haunts are India, Bangkok and Phnom Penh. |
