Wang to depart Ogilvy & Mather

SHANGHAI - Ogilvy & Mather Greater China vice-chairman Joseph Wang (pictured) is to depart the agency after thirteen years.

Wang, who will leave at the end of August, told Media that he had decided it was time for a change. After joining Ogilvy & Mather Hong Kong in 1995, Wang shifted to China in 2004, becoming Shanghai and Southern China chairman.

In 2007, he was named vice-chairman of Greater China, leading the Disney and Tudor accounts and splitting his time between Hong Kong and Shanghai. “I thought I would take break and see what comes next,” he said. An Ogilvy spokesperson declined to comment on Wang’s departure, or on whether he would be replaced.
