DJ RKSKSA RETURNS TO MCCANN AS CREATIVE DIRECTOR!

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. 

Adrian also took a short hiatus away from the industry, to pursue his love of music, opening a club in China with a focus on youth. 

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.”

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTTDOOHinfluencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is keypartnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
