BBDO Hong Kong Names Oliver Davis, Huey Wong to Creative Leadership Posts

BBDO Hong Kong has appointed Oliver Davis as Group Creative Director and Huey Wong as Creative Director, Head of Art, the agency announced on March 9, 2026. Both will report to John Koay, Chief Creative Officer of Omnicom Advertising Hong Kong.

Two Hires, Two Distinct Mandates

Davis and Wong will divide responsibilities across the agency's client portfolio. Davis will focus on regional clients, while Wong will oversee creative craft quality across all agency output.

Davis brings experience working on global brands including KFC, PepsiCo, Pernod Ricard, Huawei, Coca-Cola, and Pizza Hut. His work has been recognized at five major international award shows: D&AD, One Show, Cannes Lions, ADC, and LIA.

Wong brings seven years of Hong Kong-based experience, having worked with HSBC, Cathay Pacific, KFC, and Henderson Land. His work has received both local and regional awards.

"I'm thrilled to have Ollie and Huey on board. Both are exceptionally talented and will bring a refreshed set of specialized skillsets to the agency," said Koay. "Having worked with them before, I know they're going to fit right in, and together with the team here, create world-class work."

What the Appointments Signal for BBDO Hong Kong

The dual hire reflects a deliberate organizational structure. Davis handles business-facing creative leadership for regional clients. Wong manages craft standards across all work the agency produces. The two roles are designed to operate in parallel rather than overlap.

TBWA Hong Kong Names Mike Choy and William Chow as Joint Creative Partners

TBWA Hong Kong names Mike Choy and William Chow as joint Creative Partners, signaling a shift toward co-leadership models across Hong Kong agencies. Both report to John Koay, Creative Chief Officer of Omnicom Advertising Hong Kong.

Davis addressed the regional opportunity directly. "The region is full of brand leads, marketers and teams who are one idea and one decision away from creating the most impactful work of their lives," he said. "I don't know if people realize how good and regionally equipped BBDO HK is."

Wong added: "I am excited to step into this role, particularly in a culture that creates space and freedom for big, bold, beautiful ideas, but that also upholds the high standards I care deeply about."

The appointments align with BBDO's global positioning, "Do Big Things," signaling a deliberate push to align the Hong Kong office's creative ambitions with network-wide priorities.

Omnicom Advertising Hong Kong's Broader Structure

BBDO Hong Kong operates within Omnicom Advertising Hong Kong, a group that also houses TBWA Hong Kong. Both agencies report to CEO Andreas Krasser. Koay holds the CCO title across the full group, not just BBDO.

"BBDO and TBWA each maintain their own unique culture and positioning, which will continue to define their creative thinking and output," said Krasser.

BBDO Hong Kong currently employs approximately 125 people, combining creative, strategy, account management, digital, and production talent. The group uses Omnicom's data infrastructure, including capabilities from Acxiom, alongside its creative output.

Leadership Context Following Recent Changes

The Davis and Wong appointments come nine days after the departure of BBDO Asia CEO Tze Kiat Tan on February 28, 2026. Tan's role was not creative-specific. No successor has been named in available announcements.

The timing of the creative hires follows the relaunch of BBDO Hong Kong under the Omnicom Advertising Hong Kong structure, which established the current dual-agency model under unified group leadership.

Both Davis and Wong begin their roles immediately, according to the agency announcement.
