2021 Creative LIAisons Coaches

Wilson Ang

Group Creative Director
Cheil Hong Kong
Hong Kong
, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China

Wilson is one of the first creative leaders applying creativity and innovation into digital transformation for clients. In his tenure at Cheil, the agency had won creative and effectiveness awards, including #1 in APAC at The One Show Global Creative Rankings 2020, twice ‘Agency of the Year’ at Spikes Asia 2017 & 2019, twice 'Regional Agency of the Year' at London International Awards 2017 & 2019, and three-time 'Regional Agency of the Year' at New York Festivals 2018, 2019 & 2020.

While bagging various advertising awards such as 2 One Show Golds, Cannes, D&AD, Clio, Spikes, Adfest and Effies, Wilson also won two Grand Prix at the local Kam Fan award show and Influencers of the Year at Creativepool.

Wilson also has a degree in Computer Engineering. It was during this time, he realized he preferred communicating with people more than computers. So, soon after he graduated, he said goodbye to his binary friends and started his career in advertising. Ironically his colleagues in the IT department now love him, because he always fixes his computer issues on his own.

Comments

“Bitcoin was at $58,129 when I wrote this. Let’s see how much it is after LIAisons. Advertising is not about being right, but wrong. I’m looking for mentees who have no bitcoin. It’s wrong.”
