Victor Ng
Executive Creative Director
EURO RSCG Singapore
His old boss Linda Locke describes this guy as the hungriest creative she’d ever seen.
And you would think she’s seen plenty. When I met Victor, I could immediately see why Linda held him in such high regard. I’ve never come across anybody who shows as much enthusiasm for what they [...]
Rowan Chanen
Regional Executive Creative Director
M&C Saatchi Asia
If life followed its normal path, Rowan Chanen would never speak to me again and ignore my phone calls forever. As I was stranded trying to find an ad hoc replacement for a Creative Director who didn’t show up to Portfolio Night, I committed the mother of all no-nos by [...]
Linda Locke
CEO & Creative Director
Godmother Consulting
On my recent visit to Singapore, Linda Locke was one of the people I was most looking forward to meet. She was a bit hard to track down, but when I finally managed to get a hold of her, she generously took me up on my offer, and was more than [...]
Steve Elrick
Regional Executive Creative Director
BBH Asia Pacific
“Oh, I love Steve, he’s such a funny guy!” is pretty much what everyone in the ad biz has to say about BBH Asia Pacific’s Regional ECD. Admittedly he is quite the entertainer. He’s also no stranger to success, having picked up a bucketful of accolades over his tenure [...]
Tham Khai Meng
Worldwide Creative Director
Ogilvy & Mather
About a month ago we set up a chart on our office titled Where is Khai? Which we filled out with various cellphones, and even multiple assistants as we tried to get in touch with Khai as he traveled around the globe doing “worldwidely” duties. You can’t blame him for racking [...]
Ronald Ng
Chief Creative Officer
BBDO/Proximity
Ah, Malaysia! Home of gorgeous white sand beaches, hectares of rainforest and jungles, year long summers, the oldest church in South East Asia, the world’s tallest twin towers, and on top of all that, a pretty kick ass and booming advertising industry.
One of the places leading the pack is BBDO/Proximity in Kuala Lumpur. [...]
Joonyong Park
Creative Director
Firstborn
Firstborn is a design and technology studio. This means that when places like Wieden+Kennedy, 72&Sunny or McCann San Francisco need to get the ever tricky website part of a campaign done they call on them to turn little scribbles on napkins into full blown out 1024×702 realities.
We’ve managed to track down the place’s creative [...]
Dave Bedwood
Creative Partner
Lean Mean Fighting Machine
When I caught up with Dave Bedwood, founder of London digital powerhouse Lean Mean Fighting Machine he was just getting out of a pitch that had kept him up all night in preparations. Goes to show that even the top dogs at the top agencies still put in the hours and [...]
Feh Tarty
Creative Director
Wieden+Kennedy London
That’s it. The evil panel that is the ANDY award’s jury has finally come out of their forced one week exile in the Mayan Riviera with all the results safely kept in what we can only assume is some sort of impenetrable vault. It is said after all that the Grandy winner ends [...]
Erik Vervroegen & Philippe Meunier
Last month, we at ihaveanidea launched our first ever user survey. We were looking to see what people liked about the site, and what they’d like to find in our upcoming revamp. Well the revamp is still a bit of time away, but we’ve already received thousands of survey replies from just about every corner [...]
