Benjamin Guillaume | Co-founder of Bright House Media
Sitting squarely outside of the box, Bright House Media (BHM) was born from the collaboration of three dynamic European creatives living in Bangkok and Paris, each with extensive experience in advertising, graphic design, brand building, photography and corporate videos.
With a combined work experience of more than 30 years, they have worked with some of the world’s leading hospitality brands, developing an enviable portfolio that includes high-spec photo shoots, short documentaries, TV commercials and corporate brand overhauls.
One-third of BHM, Ben hails from France but has been globetrotting for the best part of his life. These days he bounces from Bangkok to anywhere he’s needed, always finding time to catch the surf while he’s on the road.
Marc Laban | Founding Partner of AsiaWorks
Few people can claim to have come face to face with one of the 20th century’s most notorious despots. But in 1997, along with legendary journalist Nate Thayer, Marc trekked into the jungles of Anlong Veng, Cambodia, and filmed the first interview with Pol Pot in 18 years — and his last.
He co-founded AsiaWorks, now one of the region’s leading media companies, a year earlier and has been creating exceptional multimedia content mostly for international development agencies, NGOs and corporate clients ever since.
His spare time is largely taken up hanging out with his five-year-old daughter. He has a distant memory of a time when he had other hobbies.
Lauryn Ishak | editorial and commercial photographer
Lauryn is frequently found bouncing around Asia and beyond. She shoots everything from architecture in China to posh Maldivian private islands, and from scraggly climbs up Indonesian peaks to all the hideouts that comprise the perfect day in her Lion City home.
She’s lived, worked, and studied in Germany, Indonesia, Hong Kong, New York and Switzerland — picking up each language along the way — and contributed to some of the world’s best-known publications.
She travels light….or heavy, depending on what the job entails.
Mark Elliot | Senior Copywriter
As a teenager, Mark spent a year working at a remote hotel on the Thai-Lao-Burmese border. And he’s been in the hospitality industry ever since experiencing many adventures and plenty of scrapes along the way.
After a decade in Bangkok editing a highly-respected travel trade journal, he returned to his native England where he now balances his family life and freelance copywriting commitments, while also finding time to pursue his passion for long-distance running through the — often chilly — British countryside.
They say everyone has a novel in them. One day, he promises, he’ll get around to writing his.
Pongpat (Tou) Patumsuwon | filmmaker and cinematographer
Tou’s schedule varies wildly from one day to the next. Some nights he’s stageside shooting rock concerts and the next morning he’s the hitting record button for a commercial for one of the world’s leading car brands or sports personalities.
When his hands aren’t full with camera equipment, they’re usually busy keeping his 11- and 12-year-old sons entertained. The family, including his Canadian wife Carla, can usually be found burning off steam wakeboarding and playing basketball over the weekend but his favourite pastime is running — most recently the entire length of Thailand with one of its biggest music stars for charity.
Mark Currie | Digital Media Director
From his control centre on tropical Koh Samui, Mark directs all of DAC’s daily digital going-ons. An Asia expatriate for more than a decade, he has designed and created countless intelligent solutions for clients across the region and works closely with DAC’s key clients to realise, amongst other things, their social media and web design potential.
When he’s not being a nerd (his own words) he’s either kicking a football about or kicking some ass at Muay Thai — often followed by a feast of spicy southern Thai food.
