Eric Yeo to move from Ogilvy Singapore to Ogilvy Philippines as Group Executive Creative Director

Ogilvy veteran creative, Eric Yeo, is moving to The Philippines to take up the position of Group Executive Creative Director at O&M Philippines.

Yeo (left) is currently a creative director with Ogilvy Singapore. In his new role, he will be working closely with Randy Aquino, Head of Country, Ogilvy Philippines, to develop and implement the agency’s creative agenda.

“We are excited to have Eric on board,” said Aquino. “He has worked with our team before, and there was definitely chemistry there. Not only is Eric a multi-awarded and seasoned creative director, he also has the perfect combination of Asian cultural sensibilities and international standards. As a creative leader, Eric is a very nurturing person who is selfless when it comes to sharing his ideas and experience and relentless in his pursuit for creative excellence.”

With Yeo’s appointment as Group ECD, the creative management restructuring of Ogilvy Philippines is finally complete as he heads a team of young, passionate and multi-awarded creative leads across the Ogilvy Philippines Group: Mike Sicam, Creative Director for OgilvyOne; Alnair Langkay, Creative Director for RedWorks; and the tandem of Gerry Cacanindin and Lito Gemora, Creative Directors for O&M Advertising.

Yeo will be overseeing the creative output for the agency’s clients across the disciplines, such as Unilever, Kraft Johnson & Johnson, KFC, Nike and Nestle. Yeo is no stranger to the industry, having racked up awards aplenty. Most recently he nabbed a prestigious Yellow Pencil for his work for Faber Castell at this year’s D&AD.
