It’s here! It’s gorgeous!

We’re excited to share the new brand identity of the Marcus Evans Group and its Companies.

This isn’t just a visual refresh, it’s a realignment of who we are and what we stand for. Our goal was to create a brand identity that truly reflects the changing nature of our business, the incredible people we work with, and the demands of the digital era we operate in today. Be it visual, physical, or verbal form, we wanted to create a powerful brand that is impactful, recognizable, consistent and sophisticated (and snazzy!).

Our aim is to be able to connect with people and build relationships with them.

The Creative & Branding Team have been collaborating closely with the same Branding Agency that designed the original Marcus Evans identity 20+ years ago.Since August, we’ve been gradually rolling out our new branded assets, and by early 2026, the new look will be fully implemented across all communications.

We’re excited to be a part of this transformation, but what’s made it truly special is the enthusiasm and support we’ve received by everyone.

It’s made the transition way smoother and even more rewarding for us. I want to thank you all for that.

We’ll be our most successful when we work together.

Global Talent Acquisition L&Q Team Updates

The past few months have been buzzing with collaboration, growth, and engagement across the Global Learning & Talent team and our Hyderabad office!

In September, we had the pleasure of welcoming Katerina Kontou from our Cyprus office and Nina Kasmal from our Kuala Lumpur office, both valuable members of our team, to the Hyderabad office. Their visit not only strengthened cross-office collaboration but also brought in fresh ideas and perspectives that continue to drive our shared goals forward.

During the same month, Paraardha Goel from the Hyderabad team travelled to the Kuala Lumpur office on a business trip, further deepening L&Q connections and knowledge sharing. It’s inspiring to see how these exchanges keep our team energised and aligned across regions.

We’re also thrilled to welcome three new colleagues to the Global Learning & Talent team:

Michelle David Odea, Associate L&Q Specialist

Madhukar Reddy Marupati, Talent Acquisition Specialist

Sai Yogesh Dutt Mishra, Learning & Talent Intern

We’re excited to have you on board and can’t wait to see the great work you’ll bring to the team!

As we reflect on the past quarter, I’d like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all business leaders and teams who continue to collaborate closely with L&Q and Talent Acquisition. Your partnership plays a pivotal role in shaping our success; together, we’re creating meaningful growth experiences for our people and ensuring Marcus Evans continues to lead with excellence.

Event Highlights for North America Summits

We are on the road again and back-to-back summits seemed to be the way to go for the beginning of this season! We kicked off the fall season with quite a few events taking place in Dallas, San Diego, and Boston. Lots of interesting presentations and conversations took place as well as fun highlights such as chocolate tasting at the Legal events in San Diego. What’s next? You will need to wait for the next newsletter where we will be featuring exciting things from the remaining events of the year! We’re also excited to celebrate Asha Weekes who recently ran her very first event, the PharmaMarketing Summit in Boston. A big congratulations to Asha for a successful debut — here’s to many more great events ahead!

Event Highlights for APAC Summits

The HR Dynamics Asia Summit, held over two days in September at the Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore, marked an exciting milestone as the newest addition to the APAC Summit Series. The event brought together HR professionals, industry leaders, and innovators from across the region for two days of insightful discussions, engaging sessions, and valuable networking opportunities.

As the first HR Dynamics Summit in Singapore, the event set a strong foundation for future gatherings — showcasing emerging trends, best practices, and forward-thinking strategies shaping the future of work across the Asia-Pacific region. The success of this debut reinforces the growing reach and impact of the APAC Summit Series, providing a powerful platform for HR professionals to connect, learn, and share ideas. The Private Wealth Management APAC Summit returned for its third edition this year, hosted at the prestigious Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong.

The event once again brought together leading professionals and thought leaders from across the region for a dynamic programme of discussions, panels, business meetings and networking opportunities. Building on the success of previous editions, this year’s Summit delivered strong engagement and valuable insights, reinforcing its position as a key event in the APAC calendar.

Moving into November, the APAC Summit Series continued with the CMO Korea Summit. Marketing leaders came together for insightful discussions on innovation, strategy, and growth in the digital era. Adding to the excitement, the Dusit Thani Laguna in Singapore hosted the premiere edition of the CFO Asia Summit, marking another significant milestone in the APAC calendar. This inaugural event united finance executives and thought leaders to explore the evolving role of CFOs in driving business transformation.
