Essence Communications was established by Swiss national, Felix Heinimann, in Kuala Lumpur in the year 2000 as an associate to agency giant, WPP Group, with only one multinational client to its clientele list. In a span of three years, Essence had proven its success in sustaining its current client and doubling the volume of new businesses. With its strong clientele of multinational clients and noticeable potential growth, WPP Group made further investments in Essence and the company became a subsidiary of WPP in 2005. That same year, Essence established its operations in Singapore. Today, Essence is one of the industry’s foremost recognised marketing communications consultancies.
