Nuno Dores joins Virtue’s creative team in Singapore as Associate Creative Director

Virtue, the creative agency powered by VICE, has appointed Nuno Dores to Associate Creative Director, further strengthening its Singapore hub.

With extensive experience at leading creative agencies in China, Dores has worked at Ogilvy Shanghai and BBH Shanghai on brands including Korean Air, Shiseido, ABInBev, and Google. He has now relocated to Singapore.

Dores will build work that stands out, changes perspectives and makes people think and act differently, aligned to Virtue’s mission to build brands from the inside of culture. He will also play a senior role in Virtue’s soon to be launched internship program.

Virtue’s Executive Creative Director of APAC and Middle East, Ciaran Bonass, said: “It’ s clear that Nuno is an avid ad person. His knowledge and love of our industry is prevalent. But what he brings in abundance is a unique perspective on very present cultural issues and creative tension points that are formed from creative excellence and big upstream ideas.”

His appointment comes as award-winning creative Hayden Scott joins Virtue as Senior Creative Director at its India agency based in Mumbai.

Dores said: “I was raised on VICE videos. So in my mind, there was always this fascination with what happens in culture and how it is brought to life in such an engaging manner. To now have the opportunity to work in an agency powered by VICE – and see what happens in culture before everyone else – it’s truly phenomenal.”

In December, former BBH executive Victoria Fernandez joined Virtue’s regional headquarters in Singapore as Business Director, with additional hires to be announced soon.

Virtue in APAC creates global and regional work for clients including Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble and Diageo across its offices in Singapore, India and Japan.
