Your vibe attracts your tribe 💛 When asked by Campaign UK how to keep the creative fires burning in a global network, Chaka said it best—it’s all about having a strong sense of self. That’s what brings our people together: shared values, a mix of brains, heart, and energy, and the feeling of being part of something bigger. As Chaka said, “When you create those ties that bind, and make sure you uphold and live by them daily, there’s no end to how brightly the creative fires can burn.” Check out the full piece here: https://lnkd.in/emSWVu2z #DDB #Campaign #Advertising #CreativeLeadership

Bill Bernbach once said, “To work at DDB, you have to be talented and nice.” Simple, right? But it’s something we live by every day. Because talent drives change—it pushes boundaries, sparks ideas, and turns insight into impact. And nice? Nice makes it all possible. Nice builds trust, fuels collaboration, and ensures the best ideas rise to the top. We’re lucky to work alongside extraordinary individuals—brilliant, authentic, and deeply human. And what’s more special than that? Introducing Humans of DDB, a weekly series celebrating the talented, kind, and inspiring people who make up our global family. To kick things off, meet Kogina Goh, a DDBer of nearly four years, who always brings the magic, alongside her loyal companion, Floofy! 🐈✨ Get ready to meet the heart and soul behind the creativity. 💛 #DDB #HumansOfDDB #EmployeeAppreciationDay

DDB reposted this
Our recent campaign for McDonald's New Zealand shines a spotlight on the many ways Kiwi make Macca’s part of their everyday rituals. From Parakai lifeguards to diehard Phoenix fans, we’ve captured real Kiwi crews sharing their one-of-a-kind Macca’s moments. Whether it’s a post-game tradition or a chance to reconnect, these stories highlight how Macca’s brings communities together across Aotearoa. With more stories on the way, this campaign celebrates the unique Macca’s moments that unite us all. Because when you pair nuggies with your favourite people, well, feel-good vibes are guaranteed ❤️
