Ang, who won best new art director at the 2005 Creative Circle Awards, and Chiew, runner-up in the best new copywriter category, first worked together at Crush Singapore before moving on to 10AM in 2003. The duo has won awards at Cannes, One Show, Young Guns, Media's Spikes and AdFest.
"With their combined talents and maturity, they'll continue to trail-blaze their way into award books and be important contributors to the creative success of JWT," said JWT Southeast Asia ECD Tay Guan Hin, who was recently appointed to JWT's worldwide creative council.
The hires come on the back of a stellar creative year for JWT Singapore, which won Best of Show at the 2005 Creative Circle Awards, and the evening's biggest metal haul.
