Pe resurfaces at Vietnam agency

HO CHI MINH CITY - Vietnamese advertising agency Golden Communications has hired former DDB International creative head Roger Pe (pictured) as its executive creative director.

DDBI sources confirm that Pe didn't officially terminate his contract before leaving the agency, and left without telling his employers.

In the meantime, Naga DDB copywriter Grenville Francis has filled in at DDBI as interim executive creative director.

Neal Estavillo, who took over as chief executive of DDBI this month following his departure from JWT (Media 19 September), continues his search for a permanent replacement for Pe.
