Adrian McNamara joins MullenLowe Vietnam as executive creative director replacing Carlos Camacho who is heading to China
MullenLowe Vietnam has appointed Adrian McNamara as Executive Creative Director based out of Ho Chi Minh City. He replaces Carlos Camacho, who resigned two months ago, to join one of China’s top networks.
McNamara (pictured left) is an industry veteran who joins MullenLowe Vietnam from OgilvyOne Vietnam where he was responsible for the creation of integrated and digital engagement campaigns for major clients Kimberly Clark, Nestlé and Unilever Vietnam.
McNamara drove the OgilvyOne creative team to achieve new business wins including ACB Bank, Samsung and Tourism Vietnam. In 2015, McNamara helped OgilvyOne to become a global winner of the Cannes Chimera Initiative, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. McNamara has worked across various categories including FMCG, telecommunications, insurance and banking.
On his new appointment, McNamara said, “The opportunity to join the team at MullenLowe Vietnam was a no brainer. It’s an exciting time to be in Vietnam; the market dynamics are ripe with opportunity to create work that challenges the norm. It’s my aim to deliver an unfair share of attention for our clients as we carve our place in this changing communications landscape, and I look forward to helping grow the team and the agency.”
Michel Borelli, Managing Director, MullenLowe Vietnam stated, “Adrian’s arrival coincides with a new phase of development for our agency. As clients are increasingly looking for agencies to deliver integrated work, we have been reinventing our agency model, aggressively extending our digital capabilities, updating our offering with branded content, design, as well as other practices like experiential. We needed creative excellence on all fronts, and Adrian’s remarkably broad skill set make him the ideal person to get us there. We couldn’t be more pleased to welcome Adrian to the MullenLowe family.”
Camacho has been with MullenLowe in Vietnam since early 2014. His new gig will be announced very shortly.
