Andy Greenaway to depart Executive Creative Director role at Dentsu Singapore
Dentsu Singapore Executive Creative Director Andy Greenaway is leaving the agency at the end of September to pursue opportunities in the industry as well as personal interests.
Greenaway told Campaign Brief that after 34 years in the business, he’s going to take a break.
“I need some sun on my face,” said Greenaway. “I’m grateful to Ros Tay and Ted Lim for inviting me into the Dentsu family. It’s been one helluva ride.”
Greenaway joined Dentsu in June 2016 from his previous role as the Singapore-based regional executive creative director at Sapient Nitro Asia Pacific. He joined Sapient Nitro in January 2013 after serving as Saatchi & Saatchi’s highly awarded regional executive creative director for eight years.
Ted Lim, regional chief creative officer of Dentsu Asia-Pacific, told Campaign Brief: “There are few people bigger or better than Andy. We were fortunate to have him and I’d like to thank him for his contribution to the network. He’s a big man so we will need to replace his chair… It’s falling to bits!”
Lim said he would be stepping in as they identify a suitable replacement for the role.
“We deeply appreciate Andy’s contributions to Dentsu Singapore and wish him the very best as he moves on from here. We wish to highlight that Andy’s departure is not related to recent restructuring developments within Dentsu Aegis Network.”

All the best Andy enjoy the break and next adventure.
I feel taller already😁
An excellent decision Greenie! When I told friends I was retiring, many were aghast, asking ‘but what are you going to do?’ ‘Whatever I want!’, I replied laughing. And it has been that way ever since! ENJOY yourself my friend! xxr😎
This is what happened when scam isn’t the trick up your sleeves anymore for real clients.
“I need some sun on my face.” Is the story of all advertising people who does overtime everyday. 🙂
