M&C Saatchi promotes executive creative director Ben Welsh to creative chairman of Asia
M&C Saatchi executive creative director Ben Welsh has been named as the agency’s creative chairman of Asia, with Welsh to be focused on pitching for both international and national brands across the region.
The move comes six months after the agency took Leo Burnett chief creative officer Andy DiLallo for the newly-created role of chief creative officer, and comes as the agency is embroiled in a pitch to retain one of its largest clients Optus.
Welsh has been with M&C Saatchi for 18 years, joining in 1997 as a senior writer before being promoted to creative director in 2003.
