D'Arcy has announced a series of new hires to equip the agency with
new creative firepower following the recent departure of a number of
senior staffers.
Among them is Mr Francis Lai, who has been appointed group creative
director for North China. He was previously group CD at Grey China.
Mr Lai, who is now based in Beijing for D'Arcy, has been in the industry
for more than 20 years and has worked on a number of high-profile
accounts, including the Marlboro PRC business, P&G and McDonald's.
Another new face is Mr Kelvin Koh, who has been named group CD for
Guangzhou.
He was formerly FCB Megacom CD, based in Shanghai.
Meanwhile, the associate creative director's position was taken by Mr
Lai Pun Hang.
He was previously associate creative director at Leo Burnett. In his new
job, he will be based in Shanghai.
D'Arcy has also hired two art directors: Mr Khoo Wei Hung from Leo
Burnett Hong Kong; and Mr Perry Goh from DY&R Kuala Lumpur. Both held
the position of art director in their previous jobs.
