DDB Hong Kong wins China Construction Bank

HONG KONG - DDB has secured strategy and creative duties for China Construction Bank (CCB) in Hong Kong and Macau, following a pitch that is believed to have included at least two other agencies.

The win comes after CCB handed its media business to fellow Omnicom agency OMD without a pitch.

CCB (Asia) VP of planning, marketing and communications, Thomas Poon, said that the appointment of DDB would prove pivotal as the bank attempts to build its business in Hong Kong and Macau.

“We have been very impressed with DDB’s spirit,” said Poon. “It let me believe again that an agency can bring strong strategy, creative clout and energy.”
