Rafiq Ridzwan

Head of Domestic Marketing

Warner Music Thailand

Rafiq Ridzwan doesn’t look (or act) his age. He was in the advertising industry for 19 years before moving to the music industry 4 years ago. He moved to Bangkok in 2001 as an intern at (then) J. Walter Thompson and stayed in the agency for 12 years, while having a part in releasing an album with Yarinda & Friends, opening a restaurant called Pedalicous, and cycling with a crew called JNSNP.

He’s since had roles as Head of Planning at BBDO Malaysia and Engagement Director at Storyteller Bangkok, before moving into the world of his biggest passion – music – at Warner Music Thailand.

He currently runs the marketing department that oversees over 20 local Thai artists, constantly having a competitive position in the top 3 for market share in the country.

Besides music, his other passions are cycling, hiking, and all kinds of water sports.
