BBDO/Proximity has since created some pretty decent work across so-called traditional mediums, new mediums and yet-to-be-defined mediums. Work which has featured in MC2, Kancil, Adfest, Caples, Media Spikes, Clio, Echoes, D&AD, One Show, The Work, AWARD Australia, Asian Effectiveness Awards and Cannes. Last year, Ronald was invited to join the BBDO Asia Creative Council. This year, he chairs the Kancil Awards jury. Wish him luck when you see him. All in all, his proudest achievements have been his sons, Jonah and Noah – great ideas, beautifully produced. |

He then advanced to Creative Director, joining Leo Burnett. Followed by TBWA Singapore, as Executive Creative Director. Graham joined Ogilvy Interactive in July 2000 as Regional Creative Director, Asia Pacific, to oversee the build up of the regional network: Hong Kong, Tokyo, Beijing, Jakarta, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.In 2003, Graham joined Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore. His role: strengthen the agency’s through-the-line abilities. In 2005 Graham joined BBH Japan. His brief was similar: strengthen the agency’s creative offering across all media.
