Hong Kong – BBDO Hong Kong aims to “Do Big Things” with the hire of Oliver Davis as group creative director and Huey Wong as creative director, head of art, bolstering the agency’s creative leadership.
Davis and Wong will work across the agency’s client portfolio, with Davis focusing on its growing roster of regional clients, while Wong is tasked with elevating creative craft across the board. The new hires will support Maggie Cheung, managing director at BBDO Hong Kong, as the agency looks to strengthen its reputation for delivering high-impact creative work for major brands in Hong Kong and the wider region.
Davis brings extensive Asia-based experience in crafting brand campaigns and storytelling for global clients such as KFC, Pepsico, Pernod Ricard, Huawei, Coca-Cola, and Pizza Hut. He is recognised in the industry for conceptual consistency and business-driven creativity, with accolades from major international award shows.
Commenting on his new role, Davis said, “The region is full of brand leads, marketers and teams who are one idea and one decision away from creating the most impactful work of their lives. And so far, there’s been one of those ideas in every meeting I’ve been in. I don’t know if people realise how good and regionally equipped BBDO HK is, and now with Huey onboard too, I think I might be here to cheerlead and fetch the coffees.”
Wong, who began his career in Sydney before moving to Hong Kong, has spent the past seven years working on local clients, including HSBC, Cathay Pacific, KFC, and Henderson Land. Over that period, he has earned numerous local and regional awards and is known for his high standards in art direction and design.
Also speaking on his new role, Wong stated, “I am excited to step into this role, particularly in a culture that creates space and freedom for big, bold, beautiful ideas but that also upholds the high standards I care deeply about. With the new and familiar faces here, I can’t wait to get started! “
Both Davis and Wong will report directly to Omnicom Advertising Hong Kong’s chief creative officer, John Koay, who has prioritised building a strong creative talent pool across the group.
“I’m thrilled to have Ollie and Huey on board. Both are exceptionally talented and will bring a refreshed set of specialised skillsets to the agency. Having worked with them before, I know they’re going to fit right in and, together with the team here, create world-class work,” Koay said.
These appointments follow last week’s announcement of William Chow and Mike Choy as joint creative partners at TBWA HK.
