Sascha Kuntze joins BBH Singapore as creative director reporting to ECD Joakim Borgstrom

BBH Singapore further strengthens their creative team with the hire of Sascha Kuntze. Kuntze (pictured) joins from Ogilvy Dubai where he spent the last 10 years growing the office from a virtually unknown entity, into a top 10 recognised Ogilvy office worldwide by helping to secure key business wins and client relationships including Volkswagen, Google, Unilever, Mondelez and Coca-Cola for the entire MENA region.

Originally from Germany, Kuntze started his career in film, where he shot popular Crime TV series for German television. He dabbled in brand management working for Snickers and Mars before moving across to advertising at Jung Von Matt in Germany.

Kuntze has a wealth of achievements under his belt ranging from the Social Good Campaign of 2013 (Ad Council), which was awarded a Titanium Lion, a film for Coca-Cola, that was voted one of the Top 5 Films in 2015 by YouTube and has won several awards including Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show to name a few. He’s also responsible for 3 of the top 5 most viewed Coca-Cola films on YouTube.

Kuntze will work on across a range of clients and report into Joakim Borgstrom, ECD BBH Singapore.

Borgstrom said, “BBH are always looking for ideas that are bigger than one-off campaigns and executions, ideas that can become part of pop-culture and spark conversations. Sascha brings exactly that. He is a rare creative hybrid who enjoys pushing boundaries, always backed with intelligence and humour. Watch this space.”

Kuntze said, “We are at a tipping point in our industry where we have to work harder to stand out and BBH Singapore has already set the bar creatively high. I am hoping we can raise the bar higher by delivering outstanding creative and innovative work to our clients.”
