Creative team Boyd Champness (left) and Brad Wilson (right) have departed BBDO Singapore.

Hired by former ECD Juggi Ramakrishnan and later reporting to CCO Danny Searle, the duo were promoted to Creative Director and Associate Creative Director respectively to lead the agency’s marquee accounts, Mercedes-Benz and Guinness, regionally. They were responsible for the very successful SLS AMG launch for Mercedes-Benz at the end of last year, having also produced some of the Agency’s best campaigns for Fonterra, Gillette and SingTel.

Their work has been recognized at Cannes, One Show, AWARD, Campaign Brief’s The Work, and Singapore’s Creative Circle Awards.  As recently as this week, their Mercedes-Benz BlueEFFICIENCY campaign was awarded In Book at D&AD.

Champness and Wilson plan to return to Australia. Champness is eyeing off some time to edit and publish his first novel, while Wilson is also keen to explore his passion for directing. His short film Big Feet finished in the top 25 films at Tropfest earlier this year.
