Managing Director

Advertising runs in Renuka’s family. Her mother was a well-known figure amongst the Sri Lankan advertising community, and with such a role model Renuka’s foray into her present career was a natural one.

Renuka took on the role as Head of the Agency in (year) whilst holding a Diploma in Marketing from CIM UK, and an MBA from the University of Sri Jayawardenepura. Within the agency she wears many hats as a leader, strategist, negotiator, motivator, and challenger. These qualities, along with the trait of pushing her people to always stay relevant to the present market dynamics have kept the agency team on their toes for decades whilst creating long-lasting partnerships with many clients including Prima, AIA Insurance, and the Australian Customs & Border Protection Service to name a few and wins at local and international award shows.

When she is not “disrupting” Renuka is happiest in the wild, camera in hand, taking pictures that remind us of the beauty of nature.
