Eric Wee, a PurchaseLoop Sales Executive based in Singapore, offers an insight into his motivations, achievements, and more.
Why did you decide to work in this industry?
Before joining LoopMe, I spent over 10 years in hotel sales. I always felt I had a creative side that wasn’t being fully tapped into. When I came across the Google Digital Marketing Program, I was instantly hooked. I made a bold move, shifting into digital advertising at the peak of my hotel career and it turns out to be the best decision ever! This industry constantly challenges me to think creatively, which I absolutely love. Never a dull day at work, and the ‘dynamism’ is what fuels my passion for what I do.
What project or event has been your favourite to work on at LoopMe?
Definitely has to be building two entirely new portfolios from ground zero — GroupM and independent agencies. From the ground up with zero contacts, I’ve worked to establish and grow these partnerships, introducing our AI-driven solutions to new clients and seeing firsthand how our work makes an impact for their brands. It’s been incredibly rewarding to grow these relationships and drive success for both our team and our partners! I’m so grateful for all the clients who believed in LoopMe and in me, and I’m 100% committed to continuing this great work moving forward!
What motivates you to come to work?
The opportunity to work with a diverse range of brands, each with their unique goals and challenges every day. The excitement and adrenaline of being creative and staying on top of trends and global events is incredibly satisfying. I’m also thankful to be part of LoopMe, where I get to work with such an amazing team that I truly appreciate. The supportive culture makes it feel like we’re all in this together, and the genuine relationships we’ve built are something I truly cherish.
Tell us a bit about yourself.
I was born and raised in Singapore, and here’s a fun fact about me: I absolutely love food — like, really love it! Whenever I enjoy a great meal, you’ll see me beaming with joy. But if the meal isn’t up to scratch, I can’t hide it on my face. I’m always radiating good vibes and enjoying the company of others while soaking in all the wonderful experiences the world has to offer. Sometimes, I find myself standing next to a building, admiring its beauty, or pausing on the street to take in the vibrant culture and atmosphere around me.
What has been your greatest achievement in the last year?
Professionally, I had a really strong Q3, hitting all my targets and finally got my key accounts where I wanted them to be, working with brilliant brands such as UOB, Grab and Beam Suntory. It’s incredibly rewarding to see my hard work finally pay off. On a personal note, I’ve just bought my first home! It’s a cozy three-room HDB located in the vibrant neighborhood of Punggol. Just two years ago, I never would have imagined owning my own place so soon, but this has truly become my biggest achievement to date.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you choose and why?
Definitely Singapore! We’re famous for being a food haven, with all kinds of cuisines from around the globe. As a huge foodie, you know how much that excites me. But if it were possible to choose somewhere out of this world, I’d love to live on another planet — perhaps Mars? The thought of exploring a completely new world and perhaps meeting other lifeforms is just fascinating. It would be an incredible adventure to experience the unknown and see where it takes me!
