The Malaysian-born Wong has worked at several agencies in both Malaysia and Singapore during his 15-year advertising career.
Dodds notes that Wong's arrival demonstrates TBWA's improving image in the market, as the kind of recruit "who perhaps wouldn't have considered working with TBWA in Indonesia a few years ago.
"Besides servicing a growing roster of network clients, we've managed to add a couple of the Roche ethical brands, plus VK Mobile".
