Award-winning creatives join TBWA\Singapore

TBWA\Singapore has hired award-winning creative duo Elrid Carvalho and Karan Dang as part of an ongoing strategy to consistently boost its creative resource across-the-board.

Senior Copywriter Carvalho and Senior Art Director Dang joined TBWA from JWT Singapore where they picked up a host of awards, both locally and internationally.

In an eight-year career, Carvalho has worked on a range of major brands including SilkAir, Pizza Hut, HSBC, Berocca and Kit Kat and has clinched awards at top regional shows such as a Bronze at Spikes Asia and Silver at AdFest. On the international scene his most notable awards came from the One Show (two Silver awards) and Cannes (a Bronze Lion).

In just four years in the advertising industry, Dang has worked on a number of top brands such as Pizza Hut, HSBC, Johnson & Johnson, NETS, Singtel, Guinness and Mercedes-Benz. His work on Silk Air and Red Cross, in particular, has earned him multiple medals in different categories, including two Silvers at Spikes Asia, a Gold at the Effies, a Best in Show at the Creative Circle Awards and a Digital Grand Prix at Adstars. Additionally, just last week, he won a Gold and Silver at AdFest for Red Cross’s ‘Rapid Rescue’ app.

“Hiring a team who think like us with Disruptive ideas was axiomatic,” commented Mel Du Toit, TBWA\Singapore’s Creative Director.

“The string of awards they have achieved is proof that they are strong in ideas across all media, which bolsters an already strong creative group here at TBWA\Singapore.”
