She added: "We’re grateful to him for his effort in helping us drive the growth and creative reputation of the agency during this time and wish him the very best in his new challenge.”

When contacted for comments, the CEO of BBDO Bangkok, Songkran Sethesompobe, had reportedly resigned from the position.
