Jon Loke joins Ogilvy Singapore as head of art

Loke spent five years at Leo Burnett under Linda Locke and was previously at UK agency Mother for a year, along with Victor Ng. He was also at Euro RSCG prior to joining Saatchi & Saatchi.

At Ogilvy Singapore, he will work with creative director Troy Lim on the agency’s major accounts including SoyJoy, Health Promotion Board, Panadol, GE Money, IDA, Huggies, Prudential and Coca-Cola.

His appointment is effective February 2010 and he will report directly to ECD Robert Gaxiola.

“Having cut his teeth in creative shops such as Mother London, he has a fresh and open perspective to doing things. The needs of our clients are changing and a multi-channel range of solutions now requires a new blend of talent. Jon will be a great addition to this evolution,” said Gaxiola.

In October, Ogilvy & Mather Asia-Pacific appointed BBDO’s Juggi Ramakrishnan to the newly created position of deputy regional executive creative director.
