We Are Social appoints Travis Wu to Executive Creative Director role for China Region

We Are Social has appointed Travis Wu, a multi-award-winning advertising veteran, as its new China Region Executive Creative Director as they continue to expand their business in Shanghai and Beijing.

 

Travis Wu (pictured left) joins We Are Social after delivering successful campaigns at leading advertising and PR agencies including Ruder Finn, VICE, DENTSU, Ogilvy, BBDO, Saatchi & Saatchi, and McCann.

Prior to joining We Are Social, Wu has worked brands such as McDonald’s, Carlsberg, Budweiser, Mercedes Benz, Suntory Whiskey, and Microsoft, combining his background in copywriting together with the ability to identify stories that resonate with the audience while unveiling unique aspects of the brands through new technologies and platforms.

During the 17-year career, his dedication to exploring unique ways of engaging with the audience has won him major awards, such as AdFest, Long Xi Awards, Times Asia-Pacific Awards, and 4A Awards.

Pete Lin (pictured right), Regional Managing Director, North Asia, says: “With the China social media landscape shifting once again, we need a results-oriented leader for our creative department to ensure that our ideas continue to be best-in-class. I feel fortunate that we were able to find Travis. I also feel fortunate that Travis believes in our vision and chose to join us.”

Wu said: “I strongly believe true creativity comes from collaboration and liberation of ideas in combination with long-term strategic thinking. It’s only then you can create stories that grab our attention in the most unexpected and rewarding ways. That’s how humans and brand alike connects, and that’s the true value of social insight and social media.”

Wu will be leading the development of We Are Social’s creative vision, working with a team of editors, copywriters, art directors, videographers, photographers and designers, delivering groundbreaking social-first ideas for clients like Under Armour, Dr. Martens, Chaumet, MCM, and many others.
