Lo departs W&K after six-months

SHANGHAI - Iris Lo has resigned from her position as executive creative director at Wieden & Kennedy Shanghai, having only held the job for half a year.

Lo joined W&K in mid-2007 after a two-year stint as executive creative director at M&C Saatchi in Hong Kong.

She has returned to Hong Kong for personal reasons, but remains in contact with W&K, where sources say they were “sad to see her go”.

Lo was unavailable for comment on her next move. Her replacement at W&K remains unclear.

Before M&C Saatchi, Lo was ECD at Bates Hong Kong, where she won the 4As Kam Fan award for her Just Gold ‘Real Woman’ campaign, and spent almost nine years. She began her career at local hotshop Synergy as a copywriter, before working stints at Ogilvy & Mather and JWT, where she became creative director.
