Living Marketing
David Ko has been in the Asia marketing scene for over 30 years, currently working at global agency Ruder Finn managing their digital and branding arm, RFI Asia. Says David, "The thing I love most about people in my tribe is their deep understanding of how branding and communication works, how perceptions are shaped, and their well-honed BS-meter." Conversations with guests can cover any number of topics, but always originate from the distinct perspective of a marketer, or someone for whom marketing is a huge part of life.

Patrick Sun: Art, Activism and the Meaning of Happiness
In 2014, Patrick Sun founded SUNPRIDE FOUNDATION, a non-profit that aims to promote a more equitable world for LGBTQ people and their allies, through the exhibition and preservation of contemporary art. He’s also made it his personal mission to inspire young, up-and-coming artists to find their voice and channel creative energy towards change. SUNPRIDE has presented two wildly successful exhibitions in Taipei and Bangkok, Spectrosynthesis I & II, and is already planning the next one.
How did Patrick make the journey from property developer to a patron of the arts? What have been the challenges along the way, changing hearts and minds in support of the LGBTQ movement? Why doesn’t he consider himself an activist? Find out all this and more in my conversation with this remarkable and inspiring individual.
