THAILAND – October 18, 2013 – Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand today announced the return of Golf Nuntawat as executive creative director.
Nuntawat rejoined the agency after a global career at BBH London & Singapore, JWT Tokyo, Jung von Matt Hamburg, Walker Zurich, and most recently, creative director of Ogilvy Shanghai.
After leaving Saatchi & Saatchi almost a decade ago to grow his global expertise, Nuntawat has collected Gold at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity and picked up various awards at Spikes Asia, D&AD, Clio, Adfest, Eurobest, ADC, and Epica. His positive energy and talent has created global fame for great brands such as Coca-Cola, SC Johnson, Axe, Lux, Hyposwiss Private Bank, Vodafone, Mercedes-Benz F1, and Crest.
Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand CEO, Mark Cochrane, said, “We are so pleased Golf is joining us again. It tops off a great year of reinvigoration for the agency in the Thai market. We are firmly focused on being ‘the most progressive social, content creation and ideas company in Thailand’. Golf’s proven talent, creative leadership, and nurturing soul will certainly help us achieve that. It’s great to have him back in the family and to have such a star back in Thailand’s creative industry.”
Nuntawat said, “I’m so excited to be returning home to Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand. It’s been a huge year for the agency and I’m inspired by its direction. Together with the team I look forward to making the world a better place through creativity, and filling Thailand with Lovemarks. The timing is just so right, and I’m sure it will be a lot of fun.”
Saatchi & Saatchi Thailand’s new business wins this year include Thanachart Bank, PTT owned Jiffy convenience stores, and Electrolux. It has also quickly created global fame for Big Cola through its recent ‘THINK BIG’ campaigns running across Asia and LATAM America.
