BBDO Asia has appointed Nick Morrell as its new regional business director. Morrell will be based in Singapore and responsible in leading a portfolio of international clients and driving business growth across Asia.

Most recently at Saatchi & Saatchi Singapore, Morrell ran its global Singapore-based Pampers business, leading a 30 strong team that produced some of the brand’s most memorable recent work.
“Morrell’s record of delivering top quality campaigns and client business growth stems from his determination for strategic and creative excellence and a passion for leading and nurturing talent,” said BBDO’s spokesman.
