Grey Group Singapore has appointed Tim Cheng as Chief Creative Officer. He will report to Subbaraju Alluri, Area Director and CEO, Singapore & Thailand. A strategic thinker and inspiring leader, he will set the creative direction and vision, and accelerate the digital transformation of the agency.
Mr Cheng is a highly-regarded veteran of the industry with over 20 years of experience.

Prior to DDB China Group/Tribal Worldwide China, Mr Cheng worked in two separate Executive Creative Director stints at DDB Beijing/Tribal DDB Beijing (2012-2013) and Tribal DDB Hong Kong/DDB Group (2009-2012). At DDB Beijing/Tribal DDB Beijing, he led the team on a pitch winning streak adding the likes of Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Jetstar, Acer, and HP to the agency’s roster which resulted in an impressive sky-rocketing growth in revenue. At Tribal DDB Hong Kong/DDB Group, he was credited for turning the agency into the most-awarded digital creative hothouse in Hong Kong, working with names such as McDonalds, Intel, Phillips, Manulife, and Pfizer.
Subbaraju Alluri, Area Director and CEO, Singapore & Thailand commented: “Tim is a well-respected professional and his work has consistently pushed the boundaries of creativity. I look forward to working closely with him, and am confident that he will take our creative capabilities and output to the next level.”
