ASIA-PACIFIC – SINGAPORE, SEPTEMBER 5, 2011: BBDO/Proximity Singapore has hired Scott Walker as Executive Creative Director on key regional accounts with a focus on the Visa business. Walker, who joins from DDB UK where he is currently Creative Director, will start in October.
The hire of Walker further reinforces the importance of the BBDO/Proximity Singapore office as a regional hub for BBDO Asia and follows earlier moves to strengthen BBDO’s management line-up in the region with the appointments of Joel Kuntz Digital Creative Head and Ho Lian Shi as Head of Digital.


Walker has won numerous awards during his time in London and is best know of late for his work in Social Gaming. "I am incredibly honored to be joining the talented team at BBDO/Proximity Singapore and particularly excited about working with my old friends Danny Searle, Jonathan Teo and the team at Visa – it feels a little like coming home after a long trip away," said Walker.
"Great work is built from great relationships with your peers and clients, we certainly have a head start on that."

Jean-Paul Burge, President of SEA and CEO Singapore, said: “Scott joining us was an easy decision, he is hugely talented, has all the right skills and is a good fit for a team of people that work extremely well together. With him we add to the senior talent across the region and he brings with him skills that will complement and enhance what we offer our clients."
