Travel Lifestyle Network (TLN), the pre-eminent global network of 25 independent communications agencies specialising in travel and lifestyle, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and has made a slew of strategic announcements to mark the occasion.
For the first time in the network’s 20-year history, the board has appointed a representative from an Indian company. In her new global role as a board member representing the Asia/Pacific region, Trupti Vasudev, CEO of Multimedia PR & Digital, will represent the agencies across India, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Australia, the GCC, Indonesia, and Japan.
“The Travel Lifestyle Network is a prime example of the power of collaboration – both for the participating agencies and clients who choose to work with a TLN agency. Specialist agencies are offering agility and intensely localised solutions for lifestyle and travel tourism brands, combining the professionalism of a global network, and as such, are offering stiff competition to international conglomerates.
The APAC region represents one of the world’s most dynamic consumer markets, offering unparalleled opportunities across lifestyle, travel, and luxury segments. I’m excited to leverage the network to create greater opportunities for each of the members and also to expand TLN further into other Asia Pacific markets,” said Trupti Vasudev.
Since its founding, TLN has gained recognition for its award-winning global campaigns that highlight destinations, airlines, luxury hospitality, cruise lines, wellness, fashion, and beauty brands.
TLN has also announced the appointment of David Zapata, Founder and CEO of Zapwater Communications (USA), as Executive Chair of the Board; Marilyne Levesque, President of Marelle Communications in Canada, who will represent the Americas; and Virginie Le Norgant, Co-Founder of GroupExpression in France, representing Europe. TLN founder Hanna Kleber, Chairwoman of The Kleber Group, continues to serve as Honorary Chair, providing strategic counsel in support of the network’s evolving vision.
“Our agencies represent a remarkable group of entrepreneurial and innovative leaders deeply embedded in their local markets. Moving forward, we will place greater emphasis on new offerings, services and industries — all while maintaining the high standards of excellence that have defined TLN for two decades,” said David Zapata.
The new leadership signals a strategic commitment by TLN to foster growth and forge deeper agency collaboration with an expanded focus on consumer and lifestyle communications.
