Energy BBDO imports its ECD from Chicago to China office

Prior to joining Energy BBDO, Lynch (pictured) was with Proximity Chicago, part of BBDO Worldwide. He played an instrumental role in growing the agency from a team of seven to more than 80 in under three years.

In 2011, while still leading the creative department at Proximity, Kevin was named ECD of Energy BBDO Chicago, managing some of the agency's global business.

Lynch has built an award-winning copywriting portfolio of top brands such as Jeep, Reebok, Corona, BMW, Ikea Germany, among many others during his two decades in advertising. Kevin has been recognised by, and judged, prestigious industry award shows such as the Communication Arts and the One Show.

Lynch who will be based in Shanghai, said: “Shanghai may be 11,383 kilometres from Chicago, but it feels pretty homey already."

“Over the past year, I’ve had the pleasure of working with the team and management at Energy BBDO Shanghai, so their talent and passion comes as no surprise. They’ve fostered a sense of togetherness that’s rare to find these days. I’m thrilled to be part of it.”
