We are always glad to be able to do something significant for this country we called home."Meanwhile, DDB Group Singapore has hired six new creatives in line with its business growth on Johnson & Johnson, Unilever and other key clients.  DDB in Singapore is also the regional hub for DDB Asia.Most recently, Ogilvy & Mather Singapore (O&M) was also appointed as the creative agency to deliver two creative campaigns for MCCY in 2017, with Maxus Communications Singapore as media partner.
