In the latest of several senior talent acquisitions, McCann WorldgroupMalaysia has hired Adrian Ho as Creative Director. Reporting to Ng Heok Seong, the agency’s CCO, Ho will be responsible for running the Celcom account.
Ho returns to McCann Worldgroup with more than 20 years of experience in the industry, having worked his way up from Junior Designer to Creative Group Head at some of Malaysia’s best-known agencies in the interim, including Batey Ads, EuroRSCG, BBDO, Publicis and Arachnid Interactive.
Ho has worked in many different parts of Asia Pacific on a wide range of clients, notably Maxis, Sara Lee, MondelezTwisties, Volvo, ANZ Bank, Coca-Cola, Nokia and Unilever.

He has also pursued turn-tabling, spinning at Kuala Lumpur’s hottest clubs under the guise of “DJ Rksksa”.
“It’s fantastic to attract a talent like Adrian. His rich and diverse experience will be an interesting addition to our agency,” said Sean Sim, CEO of McCann WorldgroupMalaysia. “Adrian is very plugged into the youth market and will definitely be at the forefront of all our youth-centric campaigns.”
Adrian spins, “I am excited to be back with McCann and leading the Celcom creative team. It is an honour to workfor such well-known organisations in Malaysia and I look forward to producing innovative and exciting work with the team.”
