Chee Keong Tan leaves Ogilvy & Mather in Malaysia to move to Shanghai for leadership role

After less than a year back at Ogilvy & Mather Kuala Lumpur, creative director Chee Keong (CK) Tan is leaving the agency today. Tan is moving to China for a new Shanghai-based national creative leadership position with one of China’s leading digital networks.

Tan (pictured) rejoined Ogilvy early this year after a very successful three years as ECD of BBDO Malaysia, during which time the agency emerged as one of Asia’s top creative forces, winning a Grand Prix at the London International Awards and Gold at most other international and regional awards shows. He had previously spent 7 years with Ogilvy in both Hong Kong and Malaysia.

Tan’s new role at Amber China is announced here.
