January alone sees the arrival of strategic planning director Daniel Siswandi from Saatchi & Saatchi Jakarta where he was also involved in regional planning, and production head Shirren Lim from Saatchi Bangkok where she was regional producer. Caroline Bal of G2 Malaysia, the new head of Momentum, will start in March.
On the creative side, Maria Sum joins as deputy ECD and returns to McCann after stints as creative director at Y&R and JWT Bangkok.
Award winning creative group heads Dessi Tambunan and Pasha Yudidabrata, from Publicis and JWT respectively, will also start in January, along with senior interactive designer Mira Iskarnita, who returns to Indonesia after working in New York.
"To say we're excited is a complete understatement," said McCann Worldgroup Jakarta MD Michelle Ong.
“We're shaping one of the most energetic integrated teams in the country and letting it loose on the world's best-led brands in one of Asia's most dynamic markets. Indonesia is running hot and our clients are pursuing aggressive targets, McCann is readier than ever to help them succeed."
