Walter Thompson, where they served as a global creative director on the Unilever business. They also previously held roles at TBWA Los Angeles, Publicis Seattle and Leo Burnett Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<p>Gurnani said, \u201cI joined VICE because it\u2019s a brand that lives for the audience and what\u2019s happening in their world at this very moment. As a performer, that mindset is what it takes to inspire a reaction in the people who are watching, whether that\u2019s laughter, tears, anger or even conversation about an important issue. I\u2019m excited to be working with a team that thinks the same way about the work we do every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Pearce, managing director of VIRTUE in the Asia Pacific, added, \u201cVIRTUE is already accomplishing a lot as an agency globally. And now we have Genie on board to lead the charge creatively as we grow both VICE and VIRTUE in APAC. We help the world\u2019s biggest brands intersect with culture. It\u2019s great to have someone on the team who not only has regional creative chops but also lives at such a unique nexus of fashion, entertainment, politics and identity in their own life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genie Gurnani, who starred on the most recent season of Drag Race Thailand, has been tapped to be the head of creative for VICE in the Asia-Pacific region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":5491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[1335,1336,1081],"class_list":["post-5490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-drag-race-thailand","tag-genie-gurnani","tag-vice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>VICE Appoints Genie Gurnani Head of Creative for Asia Pacific - TVASIA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/vice-appoints-genie-gurnani-head-of-creative-for-asia-pacific\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"VICE Appoints Genie Gurnani Head of Creative for Asia Pacific - TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Genie Gurnani, who starred on the most recent season of Drag Race Thailand, has been tapped to be the head of creative for VICE in the Asia-Pacific region.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/vice-appoints-genie-gurnani-head-of-creative-for-asia-pacific\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVASIA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-17T13:50:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2017\/07\/Genie-Gurnani-Headshot-VICE-719.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"467\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/vice-appoints-genie-gurnani-head-of-creative-for-asia-pacific\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/vice-appoints-genie-gurnani-head-of-creative-for-asia-pacific\/\",\"name\":\"VICE Appoints Genie Gurnani Head of Creative for Asia Pacific - TVASIA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-07-17T13:50:25+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-07-17T13:50:25+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/vice-appoints-genie-gurnani-head-of-creative-for-asia-pacific\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/vice-appoints-genie-gurnani-head-of-creative-for-asia-pacific\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/vice-appoints-genie-gurnani-head-of-creative-for-asia-pacific\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"VICE Appoints Genie Gurnani Head of Creative for Asia Pacific\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/\",\"name\":\"TVASIA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvasia\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
