Mediabrands beefs up creative council with new hires

 Mediabrands Content Studio has updated its leadership team in Malaysia, in the form of a creative leadership council.

Taking on the role of executive creative director of MBCS is Andrew Shee. The 19-year creative veteran joins the agency from his eight-year stint in China. He was most recently senior creative director of Dentsunext in Shanghai.

Internally, MBCS has also promoted Ahmad Nazril Ibrahim to executive Creative Director of MBCS. Ahmad has played an integral role in shaping the creative content of key client PETRONAS and will continue to build on the cultural nuances influencing homegrown businesses in Malaysia.

Working alongside Shee and Ahmad is consultant executive creative director, Mun Tuck Wai, and executive creative director, Kevin Le.

Mun and Le have been with the agency for seven years and will continue to lend their expertise and creative guidance on a group level across all capabilities including branded, original, social, and performance content, as stated in a release to the press.

Stanley Clement, CEO of MBCS Malaysia said that in a world of disruption and contradictions, our readiness to innovate, adapt and change is what continues to engage the creatives of tomorrow. “How we engage, how we communicate and how we move people with the content we create, that’s the true test of communications of today, as we strive to drive innovative storytelling for our clients,” Clement explained.

He also went on to add that MBCS is carefully curating its creative leadership council and bringing together the best minds of the industry with a mix of modern, traditional, data, storytelling and long and short-form content.

“They have a host of awards recognising their talents and creative work under their belts, and I’m excited to see how they work together to harness the best of our people’s potential. The Council and our teams will continue to fuse our unique proposition of intelligence and an insights-led, data-driven content practice to connect brands with people in the most compelling and personalised way,” he explained.

Earlier this year, IPG Mediabrands appointed Cindy Eliza Vaz as its chief digital officer and Debica Sigamani as its chief talent officer.
