JWT Vietnam ECD poised to depart

HO CHI MINH CITY - JWT Vietnam ECD Ompong Remigio (pictured) is understood to be leaving the agency after less than a year in the role, and is tipped to return to her previous agency Campaigns & Grey in Manila.

The highly-regarded creative, who made her name at BBDO Guerrero Ortega and Lowe, is believed to have been looking to leave the agency for some time.

Neither Remigio or Chris von Selle, the agency's MD, would comment on the news.

Remigio joined JWT Vietnam from Campaigns & Grey's sister shop Neuron in April 2007. She replaced David Smail, who left to start up BBDO Vietnam last February.
