Seddon will be succeeded by Saatchis Singapore regional account director John Foley. Seddon spent the last 10 years with Saatchis, after joining as director of client services for the Vietnam office in 1995. He then moved on to become general manager for two years, overseeing the Procter & Gamble account, before moving to Kuala Lumpur in July 2000.
JWT's key accounts in Manila include Unilever, HSBC, Kraft and Ford, as well as local accounts San Miguel and Shakey's.
"It will be a big challenge for me to move to JWT after 10 years with Saatchis," said Seddon, "but it is no doubt the right decision. I am very excited about my future at JWT."
