PRESIDENT

Phoebe Yong

Head honcho. Political news hound. Closer.

Founder and President of Magnolia, Phoebe is the spark that ignites the team’s creative energy and the driver that gets deals done. Bold, intense, brutally honest with a wicked sense of humour – this is the person clients want on their side of the table.

And yes, her vocabulary is colourful. With a degree in Communications and an MBA in Marketing, Phoebe has led marketing campaigns with some of the biggest brands in the world – Dell, HP, Microsoft, Vodafone, and Unicom China. Working on everything from shoestring budgets to over $2M ad campaigns, she has also run press tours with the largest and most influential global media outlets. She’s known in the industry for her tenacity, her work ethic, and her passion for getting things done right for her clients.

She’s pulled off product launches on many world stages – Cannes, London, Singapore, New York – and even worked on a wireless demo for Bill Gates.

Phoebe’s vision, business smarts and energy set the stage for achieving nothing less than remarkable results as she rallies the team on each and every campaign.

Favourite saying: Get busy living or get busy dying.

Phoebe is always looking for opportunities to put her creativity to work. As an avid sports fan, she thrives to get new content and ideas from sports marketing at its best, ie. The Masters, NFL. She has taken master class learnings attending professional speakers, like George Stephanopouos and Diane von Furstenberg. Harvard Business Review is also a favourite reference for her, and her playlist includes James Taylor, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and Dean Martin. She is a proud mom to two young adults, and married to her biggest cheerleader, Danny.
