Jerome Ooi

Creative Group Head
McCann-Erickson

As a child, he was advised to kick the habit. But the lure of television was just too strong. He had to have his fix. So he watched. And watched. And watched. And learned. This continued for many years and in the process, he missed out on many things. (Never women, of course.) But what he lacked, he made up for quite nicely—by being the top in his class with a degree in film. Then, landing a career in post-production. But it was his passion for developing ideas through art and engaging others with stories about brands that came to be his true calling. So advertising it was. And still is.

It's been over a decade since, and he's yet to run out of stories worth sharing. Some have won businesses. Some have collected awards. Not bad for a kid who loved TV, eh?
