Grey Thailand fills vacant CD post

BANGKOK - Grey Worldwide Thailand has ended its year-long search for a creative director with the hire of Travis Sorge.

Sorge (pictured), who joins after a spell freelancing, was last at Colenso BBDO Auckland, where he was a senior copywriter. The Californian, who won a Gold Lion at Cannes with 'Girlfriend' for Toyota Tacoma in 2004, also had stints with DDB New Zealand, M&C Saatchi Auckland and Wieden & Kennedy.

Grey Thailand chief operating officer Shilpa Swaroop said: "Travis has the challenge of transforming Grey Thailand into a cutting-edge creative outfit."
