CHINA – Ogilvy Shanghai has appointed Thomas Zhu and Jagdish “Juggi” Ramakrishnan as executive creative directors, reporting to Graham Fink (pictured), chief creative officer, Ogilvy & Mather China.
Zhu moves up from his former role as group creative director, while Ramakrishnan moves to Shanghai from Ogilvy Beijing where he is an ECD. Taking over the empty seat is 20-year ad veteran Chong Kin, who comes from Leo Burnett.
“These exciting appointments also underline our continued commitment to nurturing and promoting local talent. I’m looking forward to working closely with them all enormously,” Fink said.
“As China increasingly becomes a global creative hub, we need to be able to produce work that is internationally recognised, as well as create highly insightful and compelling campaigns for the China market. The new ECD roles in our Shanghai office will combine the individual strengths of these two leading creative talents. In Beijing, Chong Kin will be instrumental in strengthening the offer in our largest office in China even further,” he adds.
