Two new group CDs for Draftfcb Hong Kong

Draftfcb Hong Kong has hired Timothy Chan and Ming Chan as group creative directors. The creative duo will join the agency in early March following new business wins from Wing Tai Property, Chow Tai Fook jewellery, Carlsberg Chill Beer and Jolly Shandy.

“The decision by Ming and Timothy to join Draftfcb is a major step up for the agency’s creative abilities,” said Iris Lo, managing director and executive creative director of Draftfcb Hong Kong. “I have been looking at the market for quite some time to find the right combination of talent and experience to deliver our integrated offering, and I found it in Timothy and Ming. I am really looking forward to working with them.”

Ming Chan (art director) and Timothy Chan (copywriter) have been creative partners for 12 years. They first worked together at Grey Hong Kong, then at Freeway Communications and later returned to Grey. They joined JWT Hong Kong in 2008 working on HSBC, Pizza Hut, Nikon and Cheung Kong Properties. Their work for Prime Credit “Brother”, Osim therapeutic furniture and Siemens have won the pair awards at local and international award shows including LongXi, Kam Fan, AdFest, One Show and the New York Festivals.
