Spencer Wong.jpgSpencer Wong, CEO and Creative Chairman for McCann & Spencer, is leaving the network to pursue other interests.

Although unconfirmed, Wong (pictured) is tipped by industry insiders to be joining the M&C Saatchi network in a senior role later this year.

The timing of Wong’s departure coincides with a wider restructure of the network’s Hong Kong operations, which sees the expansion of McCann Worldgroup Hong Kong, servicing MNCs in that market.

 

Under this restructure, the McCann & Spencer division will be reincorporated back into McCann Worldgroup Hong Kong, under the overall leadership of the existing McCann Worldgroup management – Brandon Cheung, Jaslin Goh and Florence Kong.

Said Charles Cadell: “We thank Spencer for his long and loyal service to the company. During his time with McCann, he contributed greatly to our clients’ business success and provided a level of creative quality unparalleled in Hong Kong. We wish him all the best in the next stage of his career.”

 

Wong joined McCann Hong Kong in 2006 as Executive Creative Director for Greater China, and was soon promoted to Managing Director, Hong Kong.  He has held the position of CEO and Creative Chairman for the entity, McCann & Spencer, since 2015.
