(CEO)

 

 

PJ is the CEO of Focus Media Hong Kong and Focus Media Singapore. PJ co-founded the Group in April 2004 and was appointed Chairman and a Director of the Group since 13 January 2010. He was appointed a Director of the Company on 24 March 2011 and redesignated as Executive Director and Chairman of the Company and a member of the Remuneration Committee on 9 June 2011. Apart from charting the Group’s vision and mission and meeting the Group’s overall business objectives, PJ is also responsible for key client/partnership development and new business initiatives and overall management of advertising sales and business development functions. PJ Wong is an entrepreneur with over 20 years of start-up and operational experience with a wide range of global and regional media and entertainment, broadcasting, mobile and satellite telecommunications, Internet and digital Out-of-Home ventures. After completing six years of military service in Singapore, PJ started his career in publishing and in 1991 joined the founding team that launched Star TV. He went on to establish the regional satellite broadcaster’s regional office in Singapore and served as its Regional Director, Advertising Sales for the Southeast Asia region. A year after the network was acquired by News Corporation, PJ was invited to rejoin the founders of Star TV to work on the launch of Pacific Century Group’s Corporate Access where he served as the satellite-based corporate communications services provider’s Vice President for Sales and Advertising & Promotions. When Corporate Access was acquired by Hutchison Whampoa, PJ was transferred to Hutchison Telecommunications where he served as its Vice President, Business Development for the Asia region. While at Hutchison Telecommunications, PJ developed the desire to join the race to provide the world’s first global mobile personal communications service or GMPCS. That led to his joining of Silicon Valley-based Loral Space & Communications’ Globalstar where he subsequently established the constellation’s regional office in Hong Kong and served as its Regional Director for the Southeast Asia region. In 1999, PJ embraced the Asian Internet boom and became the Founding Managing Director for 24/7 Media Asia, one of the three founding business units of Chinadotcom. At 24/7 Media Asia, PJ built a pan-Asian interactive advertising sales network that stretches across nine Asian countries within its first year of operations. Shortly afterwards, in 2000, PJ founded the AdSociety Group, a venture that eventually became a part of the PCCW group. As Founder and Group CEO, Mr. Wong established offices across nine major cities including joint ventures with Tokyu Agency Inc., LG Advertising Inc. and the People’s Daily Group, in Japan, South Korea and China, respectively, and worked with numerous sales and technology partners in the United States and Europe to establish a global advertising sales network and provided integrated online, broadband and mobile advertising,  marketing and sales services to a diverse spectrum of premium online media properties. Following the burst of the technology bubble and the events of September 11, the Internet and mobile advertising venture was divested by PCCW on 3 October 2001. Soon afterwards, PJ was invited to rejoin the founders of PCCW to serve as the CEO of NOW Satellite TV. Mr. Wong is currently a senior advisor on overseas investment and business development for the People’s Daily Group; is serving his tenth consecutive year as a Council of Governor of CASBAA, the region’s leading industry-based advocacy group that represents over 125 Asia-based corporations to promote multi- channel TV via cable, satellite, broadband, mobile and wireless video networks across the Asia-Pacific; and an advisor to The Media Evangelism, a charitable Christian organization committed to building a Christian media presence using every modern means of communications.
