“As an agency, we are getting bigger, better and busier than ever. We’re doing a wide range of work in an equally wide range of media for all our clients. The creative department is bursting at the seams with young teams. And we need talented, competent and resilient creative leaders to manage our businesses and teams.

With our next rung of creative leaders stepping up, I’m really excited for the future of DDB Group Singapore. Our plan is to have an unfair share of talent helping our clients build their businesses,” Joji Jacob, Executive Creative Director, DDB & RAPP, Singapore.
