Nateepat Jaturonrasmi leaves Leo Burnett to join DDB Hong Kong as a Creative Director

DDB Group Hong Kong has appointed Nateepat Jaturonrasmi (Yun) as Creative Director, effective immediately. Yun will work alongside Asawin Phanichwatana (Bear) who rejoined the agency as Head of Art last September.

Originally from Thailand, Yan joins DDB from Leo Burnett Hong Kong. He has also had stints at Leo Burnett Bangkok, Publicis Bangkok and Grey Worldwide Bangkok. With more than 12 years in advertising, Yun has worked on clients such as Chevrolet, McDonald’s, Alive (Coca-Cola Company), ITV (TV Channel), Skoda, Pantene and Dairy Queen.

Yun has won many awards, most notably Cannes Lions, Clio, D&AD, One Show and AdFest. Most recently he was awarded a Bronze Cannes Lions for Canon ‘Beach’ and ‘Jacuzzi’ and Diamond Coffee ‘Office Worker’ and ‘School Bus Driver’.

“Combined with Bear’s appointment last year, our creative team is going from strength to strength and boasts an extraordinary level of creative talent. Yun will help raise the quality of both our ideas and executions,” said Jeffry Gamble, Executive Creative Director at DDB Hong Kong.

 “These are exciting times for DDB in Hong Kong and I’m very much looking forward to our team developing socially creative, award-winning and effective solutions for our clients,” said Simone Tam, president of DDB Group Hong Kong and Guangzhou.
