The Marketing Society is delighted to announce two important additions to its Singapore board: Bernard Cheng, Senior Director Marketing at Netflix, and Caspar Schlickum, Founder and Principal at Verdena and formerly Managing Director at Accenture Song.
Bernard brings a sharp understanding of culture, consumers and media, shaped by years spent navigating shifts across the industry.
I’m thrilled to join the Board of The Marketing Society Singapore. I’ve always admired how the Marketing Society brings the industry together to push boundaries, share honest insights, and inspire braver work. Having spent years navigating the shifts in our industry, I’m really excited to give back, whether that’s opening doors for emerging talent, sparking fresh ideas, or helping our community stay ahead of what’s next.

Caspar brings over twenty-five years across finance, marketing and technology, including his time as APAC CEO at Wunderman, and will lead the board's B2B focus, adding deep business experience to an already outstanding group.
There has genuinely never been a more exciting but also challenging time to be a marketer. With B2B driving so much of the economic activity in Singapore, I am super excited to contribute to the sharing of ideas, pushing of boundaries and to help our brilliant Members at The Marketing Society build their network and community.

With voices spanning entertainment, technology and B2B, the Singapore board continues to reflect the breadth of our industry and region. Together, the board is positioned to create new opportunities for Members to thrive and drive transformation across Asia-Pacific.
“Our Marketing Society’s Singapore board is made up of exceptional people who bring diverse experiences, perspectives and expertise to the table, united by a clear sense of purpose and a shared commitment to making a meaningful difference.
Each Member gives their time, insight and energy alongside demanding professional and personal responsibilities, driven by a genuine belief in our industry, and commitment to our Members. Their generosity and collective spirit are something I never take for granted.
Bernie, from Netflix, and Casper, formerly of Accenture, bring two distinctive perspectives to an already outstanding board. Bernie offers a sharp understanding of culture, consumers and media, while Casper brings deep B2B and business experience. Together, they add even greater breadth, challenge and possibility to our thinking.
I feel incredibly fortunate to work alongside such a thoughtful, committed, passionate and fun group.”
Gita de Beer, Chair, The Marketing Society Singapore
The strongest boards are not made up of people who all think alike. They are shaped by people who see the world differently, challenge one another constructively and bring their strengths together behind a shared ambition. That diversity of perspective, combined with a common purpose, enables us to create our greatest collective impact.
