Patient: Lennel Tan, Associate Account Manager
Diagnosis: Severely Organised Syndrome
Severely Organised Syndrome (SOS) inflicts patients with exceptional control over situations, and the ability to perceive, and derive organisation from chaos. A supremely logical and categorical mind inhabits the heads of such patients – for example, Lennel Tan. Though they occasionally confront chaos conditions with a primal cry of exasperation, disorganisation and disorder are soon put into organisation and order through sheer will and superior brainpower.
After graduating at the top of his cohort in Temasek Polytechnic’s Diploma in Communication and Media Management – no doubt after organising entire textbooks in his mind – Lennel went on to join Bates 141 while pursing his degree in Mass Communication from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. He has spent more than three years servicing and growing the regional Hewlett Packard business across multiple business units, and also worked on other MNC clients such as Chevron, Nokia, Palm, and Shell.
With a background in creative development, marketing, and keen interest in social media, Lennel brings a different – and more organised – perspective to marketing for his clients.
