Very few Chief Creative Officers have had the opportunity or experience of having worked across five continents; Originally from Australia Reed Collins has been based in Hong Kong for the last 8 years and is responsible for the creative output of all Ogilvy offices in APAC. Working with IKEA, KFC, Coca Cola, Altoids, Kellogg’s, Nestle, Fox Sports, Nintendo, Huawei and Shiseido brands along the way.
