He has previously been named by Campaign Brief Asia as ‘China’s No.1 Hottest Creative’.

Jose Miguel Sokoloff, President Mullen Lowe Group Global Creative Council said, ‘I am thrilled that Eddie is joining us. With his vast experience across the whole APAC region, and the last 15 years in China, he is the ideal creative lead for our China agencies.’

Yum, and Wong will work alongside Lowe China Chief Strategic Officer Baiping Shen with a remit to build on the existing creative excellence of the agency and expanding it for future success. Lowe China was named 2014 Creative Agency of the Year by Campaign Brief Asia, and their ‘Human Traffic Signs’ for Shanghai General Motors was the most awarded Chinese creative campaign of the year, winning amongst others; Grand Prix at the Great Wall Advertising Awards, Best of the Best Grand Prix and Print Grand Prix at Ad Stars, the only awarded Grand Prix at the China 4As, and a White and Yellow Pencil at D&AD in 2015.
