Pong explained she would be moving into a role at another Hong Kong agency in 2008.
Lee joins DDB after departing Leo Burnett earlier this year.
“We are really pleased to have lured Ruth back to Hong Kongm” said DDB president and CEO Richard Thomas. “Having spent the last six years in Shanghai, Ruth has gained a deep understanding of the Chinese market and appreciates the finer nuances of the two markets. She will be a real asset to our Hong Kong agency at a time when the communications industry is evolving and redefining itself in Greater China. ”
