Former FCB Kuala Lumpur ECD Rupert England returns to Singapore to pursue personal projects

After a year as group executive creative director of FCB Kuala Lumpur, Rupert England will be heading back to Singapore where he will consult and pursue personal creative projects from June onwards.

England (pictured) was group executive creative director at FCB Kuala Lumpur since March 2013, where he managed three separate creative departments – both traditional and digital – comprising more than 40 creative and production staff.

England has worked in Singapore previously, for four years from 2007 to 2011, as a regional creative director at Lowe and a creative director at TBWA.

Commenting on the move back to Singapore, England said, “I’m proud of what we achieved at FCB Kuala Lumpur. For the first time in a few years, the agency won several pitches. We also won awards at the Kancils, the local Malaysian show. The agency is well-positioned for success and I wish the team all the best.”

“In the end, it was more a personal decision than a professional one. After a year in Malaysia, I realised that Singapore is home.” he added.
