I believe that today, we have a bigger responsibility than ever to make a meaningful difference in the world through the work we do. That’s where we’re taking HKLM,” Kruger explains.
“Catherine’s new role allows her to really focus on elevating our creative output,” says HKLM general manager, Zahra Mirza. “This will further entrench HKLM’s position as a creative leader, allowing us to pursue our new growth vision with vigour.”
