Kim will be responsible for “building the agency’s client base”, according to a statement from DDB. While the emphasis will be on Korea-based clients, he will be expected to grow DDB’s multinational business.
He will also oversee the recently restructured Tribal DDB, Rapp and DDB Health divisions within the Omnicom Group agency.
In the statement, DDB’s regional chairman and chief executive John Zeigler said that Kim represented “a new era for DDB in Korea”.
“I believe his experience will help us pursue new brands and increase our client portfolio substantially,” Zeigler said.
Most recently, Kim served as executive director of Innocean’s account executive and marketing divisions. He worked with clients such as KT, Sky, Hyundai Card, Hyundai Capital and Hyundai Heavy Industry.
His career has also included stints at Phoenix Communications and BBDO Korea.
Kim will work closely with chief operations and finance officer, Kevin Koh and senior vice-president and managing partner Les Edwards. His appointment will take effect next month.
