MRM//McCANN
Senior Creatives / Senior Art Director
My tenure with McCann Worldgroup saw me act independently, collaborate and lead campaign efforts, mentor juniors, and be involved in initiatives that brought recognition.
My main task was to elevate and ensure the delivery of quality creative work. I oversaw branding efforts and the visualisation of concepts from start to finish. Versatility is my strength; I am as comfortable guiding others as being hands-on with projects. My daily involvement includes collaborating closely with copywriters, strategists, marketers, and production specialists. I am glad to report that my contribution in uplifting creativity and aesthetics has helped the brands under my care profit and grow.
I always give my best, whether leading or supporting new business pitches as a team member: our efforts have seen us convert one-off clients into roster clients. On the awards front, I have devoted much time to assisting in creative initiatives and bolstering the award ambitions of McCann Worldgroup.
Representing McCann Worldgroup at the New York Festivals® Advertising Awards and Singapore’s Crowbar Challenge has sharpened my industry perspectives as a professional. Being able to impart knowledge and skills to new blood from visiting universities and institutions as a lecturer has been gratifying.
