O&M China elevates three to senior posts

Ogilvy & Mather China has promoted three existing agency leaders who will take on additional senior management roles and responsibilities in January 2012. These promotions follow a recent Ogilvy Asia Pacific announcement regarding management changes at the regional level.

Debby Cheung has been Promoted to President of Ogilvy & Mather Group/Shanghai. An Ogilvy veteran of more than 20 years, Cheung (pictured left), currently Group Managing Director of Ogilvy PR/China, will step into Chris Reitermann’s role as President of Ogilvy & Mather Group/Shanghai when Reitermann joins the Regional Executive Committee as President of Ogilvy & Mather Advertising Asia Pacific in January 2012.

Cheung’s Ogilvy career began at Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide in Hong Kong where she worked her way up to the position of Managing Director of that office. In 2003 she relocated to Shanghai to lead Ogilvy PR and through constant innovation, key hires and new business wins, she has developed Ogilvy PR into a leading agency in the market.

A strong believer in talent development, Cheung has also worn the additional hat of Group Training Leader in Shanghai for several years.

Angel Chen is also promoted to President of OgilvyOne China. Chen will replace Reitermann in his second role as President of OgilvyOne China. With OgilvyOne since 2000, Chen has done a supreme job as Managing Director of OgilvyOne Beijing, a position she was appointed to 2.5 years ago. Chen (pictured left)  is a passionate digital and direct marketer with a strong business acumen and client service sense. Under Chen’s leadership, OgilvyOne Beijing has consistently been recognized as the most awarded digital agency in China – winning “Digital Agency of the Year” at Campaign’s 2010 Digital Media Awards.

The final promotion is Peony Wu who moves up to Managing Director of GBM Clients, and will continue to hold the Chief Digital Officer Position. Wu replaces Anthony Wong who has been promoted to the Asia Pacific role of Regional President, Ogilvy GBM and who also joins the Regional Executive Committee.

With a rare background in management consulting, client service, creative agency, digital agency and media agency experience, Wu’s holistic perspective has allowed her to blossom into a true new age brand marketer.

In addition to their expanded responsibilities Cheung, Chen and Wu will also become

new members of Ogilvy China’s Executive Committee.
