NEW YORK, May 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ogilvy & Mather
Worldwide Chief Creative Officer Tham Khai
Meng announced today the appointment of OgilvyOne EAME Joint
Chief Creative Officers Emma de la
Fosse and Charlie Wilson to
O&M's Worldwide Creative Council.
Tham, the Chairman of O&M's Worldwide Creative Council,
noted, "It is said a creative team is like a marriage. Emma and
Charlie take that thought one step further. This is the first time
we've had a husband and wife on the Council. While they are
probably not the only married creative team in the world, they are
undoubtedly the most highly-awarded married creative team in the
world."
The award winning husband and wife creative team was behind the
British Airways "Magic of Flying" campaign, which garnered multiple
wins at the 2014 Cannes Lions International Festival of
Creativity. It bagged 8 Lions and a Grand Prix and was
quickly dubbed "the future of billboard advertising" by the press
and jurors.
"The role of the Council is to set ablaze the creative fire with
which everyone at Ogilvy can light their torch," said Tham. "This
takes courage, guts, hard work, learned wisdom, creative
brilliance, passion and drive. But above all else it requires the
vision to look up and imagine with audacity," he noted. "Emma and
Charlie do just that."
De la Fosse said, "Charlie and I are honoured to join Khai and
the Worldwide Creative Council, a band of artists, thinkers and
sages with the ability to make a little mischief and magic to
entertain and engage consumers on behalf of brands. We look forward
to lighting some torches on behalf of creativity."
