BlueCurrent's remit includes executing on digital and social strategies, conducting regional media-relations programs and handling content creation and event management. The organisation wants to build its profile as the "preeminent, multidisciplinary real estate forum in the Asia-Pacific region" and to support the communications activities of its members.
