BBH China’s managing director Christine Ng honoured at Ad Age ‘Women to Watch’ gala

BBH China’s Managing Director, Christine Ng was honoured at the Ad Age ‘Women To Watch’ gala held at the Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai last week.

The event was a celebration of China’s top ‘Women to Watch’ – a group of accomplished women honoured for their outstanding achievement and contribution within the marketing industry across China and Hong Kong.

In a question posed to Ng (pictured with BBH China CEO Arto Hampartsoumian) on how BBH China has managed such an enviable retention record in an industry fraught with high turnovers, she replied:

“There is no big secret. It starts with being very clear about what type of talent we want for BBH. Everyone in BBH China shares one thing in common – their talent is bigger than their ego –  and we call that very good and very nice. People like to work with people who are like themselves. They are great individuals but together, they are simply awesome. The BBH culture is built by them. They make it a place where people want to stay. It’s culture, not companies that makes people stick. I’m truly blessed to be working with such great people. I thank my BBH friends for staying.”

Other honorees included Nike China Brand Communication Director San Yin Mei and Starcom China CEO Bertilla Yeo.
