Lam told Media he will take a brief holiday to travel around China before his next career move.
A BBDO veteran for almost 10 years, Lam worked in BBDO's Hong Kong office for almost five years before moving to work for two other 4A agencies in Shanghai. He then rejoined BBDO Shanghai as group creative director in 2004, and was promoted to ECD in April 2008.
During his tenure at BBDO, Lam contributed his leadership and thinking to accounts such as GE, Visa, Pepsi and KFC.
“I was quite shocked to receive his resignation after the holiday as he has been working in our stable team for a long while. We are grateful to have had the fortune to work with Almon during the past five years. As much as we would like to keep him on our team, Almon has expressed the wish to enrich his China experiences – as he think China is more than just Shanghai, and start a new chapter in a different city,” Leong Wai Foong, ECD for BBDO China said.
“We all move around in the agency circle. We wish to keep Almon in the Omnicom network and my gut feeling is we will work together again in the future,” he added.
Earlier last year BBDO China announced three internal executive promotions: Jennifer Chern has been promoted to group account director, Owen Smith to associate planning director in Shanghai and Danny Chan to executive creative director in Beijing.
