Prior to that he was Managing Director of Euro RSCG 4D, China from 2009 to 2010.

Angel Chen, President of OgilvyOne China, said, “Billboard is a well known and highly sought after talent in our industry. As one of the first staff at O&M China, Billboard made significant contributions to the development of the agency so naturally we’re thrilled that he chose to rejoin us. With his many years of successful managerial experience and his familiarity with Ogilvy, I’m confident that Billboard will be able to quickly step in and excel in his new role as he has strong expertise in client marketing strategies and deep insights into e-commerce. The team is very much looking forward to working with him again to achieve new heights.”

Billboard Kwok, said, “Joining OgilvyOne is a real homecoming as I’ve spent most of my advertising and marketing career at Ogilvy. Driving OgilvyOne’s ecommerce services across mainland China will be my top priority.”
