APAC Regional Director, The One Club, Creative Chairman, BBDO Singapore / Best Selling Author “COLLIDE” / TedX Speaker / Past President Asia Professional Speakers
The Singapore Association of Advertising & Marketing Singapore (AAMS) AdMarCom Festival 2024 with be held January 18th. In the lead up to the festival they are spotlighting some of the ‘Braves’ who have made a significant impact in the Singapore AdMarCom space. Here is my insights in this exclusive interview. Who are you? – What holds dear to you? Can you share a defining moment or experience in your career that has shaped who you are today? Currently, I’m the Creative Chairman of BBDO Singapore. I love to fish, so when I am on leave and if I go fishing, this will be the reply from my out- of-office reply. ‘Guan Fishing’ While studying in Los Angeles, I joined the inaugural Los Angeles Creative Competition in 1990. As a Singaporean, I initially found the competitive and individualistic culture of the American institution challenging. The awards ceremony was a defining moment. Amidst a sea of accolades from my peers, I didn’t hear my name until the show was almost over when my name was announced for the Best of Show, an honor accompanied by a cheap plastic trophy (which, to this day, I hold dearly) and US$1,000/-. You seem to be heavily involved in the creative scene. What is your ultimate goal for the industry or for yourself? Did you know Patrick Low and I were the first to start the Crowbar Awards in 2001? In 2003, I was the Chairperson for the Creative Circle Awards. I involved myself heavily in the creative industry to mentor, teach and grow early in my career because it motivates me to be a more nurturing Creative Leader. “If you don’t do it, someone else will” is something I believe in and practise consistently. My attitude has evolved, and I no longer try to shy away from challenges but take the bulls by the horns and face them head-on. After working in this industry for almost three decades, it has taught me to be resilient. There were tough moments when I could have given up and taken another less stressful job, but where is the fun in that? Creativity is important, but you need to have the tenacity and motivation to excel to succeed. BBDO Worldwide BBDO Asia BBDO Singapore #creativity #gongshow #bbdo

Two simple dots... can make a big difference. This idea is a great example of the creative power of this region – something that becomes big because it is creative. Something that captures hearts and minds because it's relevant. Not because there's a celebrity in it. Not because we spent 1M dollars producing it. But because it's a powerful idea. D&AD is the hardest award to get in this business. This is the one you don't win, you earn. This idea earned it. Havas earned it. Congrats, team!

Director, Partnerships at D&AD | Strategic Collaborations, Sponsorship and Fundraising | Driving Creative Excellence through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Just a week ago at the BETC HAVAS Cafe in São Paulo, these 16 extraordinary talents were introduced to the local creative community. Today, we'd like you to meet them... They are the first class to graduate through D&AD Shift with Google in LATAM. They are #designers, #artdirectors, #strategists, #filmmakers and #creators. They are also Black, women, non-binary, Indigenous, LGBTQIA and Neurodivergent. As a group they are as vibrant and diverse as the Brazilian people our industry creates for. Perhaps the only thing they have in common is that they do not hold a degree. Instead, they’ve been taught by some of the best brands and agencies in latin America – and the world. So employ them. Include them. They will help you do even better, more inclusive, more effective advertising and design. They will help you win Pencils. Maybe. But help them help you by giving them a shot. If you’re a brand or agency, or creative employer in Brazil, please know the D&AD Shift in São Paulo, Creative Class of 2024. https://lnkd.in/ek9n-WJ8 #shiftcreativity 🇧🇷 D&AD Shift is a free, industry-led night school made possible by the following partners – and everyone that ever entered a D&AD Award.

CEO of Kru Live Global, Mum of Two Girls, Campaign Experience Award Judge, The Drum Experience Award Judge, Voted 6th in The Event 100 Club, Mentor with Elevate Mentoring
This year, I once again watched the spectacle of Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2024 unfold with awe. Though I wasn't able to attend in person, I’ve been kept up to date by Ella Butler, my social feeds and of course, the BizBash annual round up from Claire Hoffman - which never fails to highlight best in class. Here’s five key activations that really stood out for me: 1. Pinterest Manifestival: Pinterest's transformation of the Carlton Beach Club into a real-life version of their digital platform is always a pleasure to behold. They nailed it again this year! 2. LinkedIn: The Place to B2B: LinkedIn's clever play on words perfectly encapsulated their activation's purpose. They took over three floors of the Carlton hotel, to create a hub for professional connections and creativity. 3. Meta Beach: Meta's focus on connections and the possibilities of their technology was expertly executed. The standout Reels Cinema, emerging from the sand was such a great idea. Nice work Jack Morton Worldwide! 4. Spotify Beach: Spotify's round-the-clock activation hub was a masterclass in blending thought leadership with entertainment. 5. Netflix: The giant Netflix 'N' towering over the Croisette is now a Cannes Lions staple, serving as a constant reminder of the streaming giant's presence. Their rooftop takeover, featured vignettes inspired by their most popular shows. Another incredible experience by Seen Presents. Did anyone meet our Squid Game actors, by the way? A huge shout out to ALL the brand ambassadors, event managers, and support staff who are the unsung heroes of Cannes Lions, ensuring that every interaction leaves a lasting impression. With thanks to our teams supporting our clients Amplify, 160over90, Chase, United Airlines, Seen Presents and Netflix.

A movement is always born from chaos. That’s not the situation, at least as I see it, and lots of agencies and brands see it. I always refer to the BBDO methodology ‘How to Incite a Movement' to organise my thoughts. It’s really about 3 stages, Each step reflects the principle phases that a movement goes through from the inception to becoming mass. Motivation + Agitation + Explosion is a framework that is great to have in mind to construct your movement: 😮 Motivation: This stage involves identifying and tapping into the motivations, desires, and emotions of the target audience. It helps to build a clear compass built around the Noble Purpose, driven by a code of conduct and behavior, our people and what incites them and finally identifying the tools that can be used to create this movement. 😝 Agitation: The agitation stage seeks to provoke a response or action. Therefore, this stage involves stirring up emotions, challenging perceptions, uniting the agitators overall. We need to define symbols, rituals and language to make sure we nail it. By agitating the audience, advertisers aim to create a sense of urgency or discomfort that compels them to take action - well ,we go from a giant insight to à reductionist incite. 😊 Explosion: The explosion stage represents the culmination of the movement, where the desired outcome is achieved. This could manifest as a surge in engagement, widespread adoption of a new behaviour or the realisation of a social / political change. We may emphasise the importance of creating a memorable and impactful moment that catalyses the explosion, whether it's a viral ad campaign, a mass protest or a groundbreaking activation. We have to break the chasm and see where it leads us - this stage marks the visible and tangible results I like this structure, like a ripple effect that makes things interesting. If you want to know more about creating a movement for your brand, comment ‘I like to Move it’ and I send you the original deck articulated with BBDO. #brands #challengerbrands #movement #BBDO #neon42 The illustration was chosen only to attract my buddy Simon Neate-Stidson

The spread is what makes us unique." 🔗Read on to explore McCann London's 2023 end of the year showcase: https://lnkd.in/eVYQghRJ #commercialcreativity #advertising #adagency #advertisingagency #adland #communications #media #mediaagency #mediabuying #creativity #creativeagency #marcomms #marketing Mel Arrow Tommy Smith Regan Warner Rob Doubal Laurence (Lolly) Thomson Jemima Monies Polly McMorrow
