He hit the ground running so to speak, and has started working with the Group’s key leaders in finding ways to generate long-term growth and further enhance DDB’s relationships with its clients, its partners, and its people.
DDB Group Philippines Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gil G. Chua expressed his excitement in being able to work with Lucas once again in further boosting DDB Group’s growth prospects given the new demands of clients and the business climate in general.
“In these times that call for a more diverse and experienced management, having John back in our fold further strengthens our capability to provide our clients with greater value and our people with even better leadership,” said Mr. Chua.
For his part, DDB Group Philippines Chief Operating Officer and Chief Finance Officer Judd Balayan concurred that the return of the well-loved member of DDB’s senior management is key to further maximizing the agency group’s value to its clients and its people.
“John Lucas’s extensive marketing and agency experience, as well as his collaborative leadership style, will ensure that we bring the best creative and digital brand solutions to our clients and the best collective leadership to our people,” Mr. Balayan said.
