Maggie has more than 20 years of experience in marketing. She spent the first years of her career on the client-side marketing consumer goods before realising her true calling was to work at an agency. She made the move over ten years ago and has never looked back.

Before arriving at DDB, Maggie’s agency experience consisted of senior account servicing positions at branding agencies Eight Partnership, Alchemy Asia and KymeChow Communications and working on a wide range of brands including Sun Life Financial, AIA, Prudential, Kerry Properties and OVOLO Hotels.

Maggie started at DDB as Business Director in 2017 and was promoted to Managing Partner in 2023. She heads up a 12 person-strong account servicing team for what is one of the market’s most famous advertisers and the agency’s largest account, McDonald’s.

Maggie has led the team through a very successful period, achieving recognition via countless creative and effectiveness awards and most recently celebrated with the client the fact the partnership won Gold for Greater China Agency Marketer Partnership of the Year award at the Campaign Asia Agency of the Year Awards.

Managing one of the most dynamic and fast-paced accounts in Hong Kong keeps Maggie pretty busy but when she’s not working you’ll probably find her balancing that by enjoying some quiet time with her dog…, and maybe with a glass of wine in her hand.
