JWT has appointed Khai Doan as its ECD in Vietnam, beginning May 1.
Doan joins from JWT Germany, where he led creative work for Nestlé and Unilever across Western Europe. He has won several dozen national and international awards, including Cannes Lions, CLIO, One Show and Art Directors’ Club.
Chris von Selle, managing director of JWT Vietnam, expressed his delight at the choice, while also pinpointing an important issue for Vietnam’s creative leaders: “We have not just found an extraordinary creative talent within JWT, but even more importantly we have found someone who grew up in Vietnam and who speaks the language.”
Tay Guan Hin, JWT Southeast Asia ECD, adds: “Local insight with international experience is key to delivering creative work of the highest level that is relevant to the market.”
