Creative Director,
BBH

Originally from Melbourne, Scott joined BBH when they first opened in Singapore before heading off to Johannesburg, Cape Town, back to Singapore, Tokyo, Amsterdam, Sydney and Shanghai, working for such creative agencies as TBWA Hunt Lascaris, Strawberry Frog and Wieden + Kennedy. He has recently returned to Singapore as Executive Creative Director of BBH Asiapac.

Creative Director,
DDB Singapore

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Andrew first plied his trade in Middle Earth, working at boutique shop Generator for over five years. Then in 2005, restlessness took hold of him – so he packed his bags and set sail for Singapore.

Andrew landed at the venerable Batey Ads, where he worked on regional and global accounts in both Singapore and Malaysia. He was made ECD of Batey at 32, and managed (somehow) the global relaunch of Qatar Airways out of the Singapore office.

After a short stint freelancing in Singapore and KL, Andrew joined DDB as Creative Director in 2010.

He has been awarded at multiple local and international shows, including Cannes, Spikes and CCAs. This year, he also picked up gold at both the Effies and the Appies with campaigns for the Health Promotion Board.

Career highlights include shooting in the cockpit of a Boeing 777 (fun), playing with an industrial flame-thrower (frightening), and chasing Bambinas around Rome with a vintage Bolex (bit of both).
