James Procter leaves executive creative director role at TBWA Hong Kong to return to Australia
After only six months in the chair, James Procter, the Executive Creative Director of TBWA\Hong Kong has left the company for personal reasons.
“For a number of reasons it’s important for my family to be back in Australia just at this point”, Procter told Campaign Brief Asia. “I would like to thank TBWA for the opportunity, and for understanding this situation.”
Joanne Lao, Managing Director of TBWA\Hong Kong said: “We understand James’s rationale and wish him the very best for the future.”
Procter was previously ECD at Ogilvy Singapore and in October last year was announced as the replacement for outgoing TBWA Hong Kong ECD Mark Ringer.
Procter started his career at Clemenger BBDO in his native Australia and went on to become ECD at GPY&R Sydney before moving to Y&R Singapore four years ago. He subsequently joined O&M Singapore for 12 months before leaving in July 2012.

Best of luck, James.
I’m sure that once the family is sorted, agencies will be falling over themselves to hook in to your creative talents.
Your record of consistency speaks for itself.

Chin up, mate. We’ve all been there. See your feet? You’ll land on them.
Welcome back mate.
Worked with him. Talented. Will be good to have him back in the country.
How many ad superstars with his track record ever have the nuts sack to put family before career?
It must be wonderful to have such an awesome father and husband!
Go Cats!
Good to have you back mate.
Is the silver surfer coming back to join his ex Y&R pals Hamish & Matt at TEN?
Well played-James!
