Both will report to Pattaraporn Wongmesak, country manager of Grey Group Thailand, and work closely with Ali Shabaz, chief creative officer of Grey Group Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand.

Prior to joining Grey Group Thailand, Jaturiyasajagul and Jiamsirikarn’s previously held positions include executive creative director at Spa-Hakuhodo, creative director at McCann Erickson as well as associate creative director at Creative Juice/G1, all based in Thailand.  

Jaturiyasajagul and Jiamsirikarn have also established a name for themselves in the creative industry through their participation as judges at award shows such as Cannes Lions, Adfest, Adman Awards and Bangkok Art Directors’ Awards. In addition, their role in leading the Bangkok Art Directors’ Association underscores their efforts to contribute to the local creative scene. 

Wongmesak said, “Both gentlemen are highly awarded and well respected in the industry, and come with vast experience from various industries, encompassing local, regional and global markets, having worked with clients such as Procter & Gamble, L’Oréal, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, BMW, Lexus, Esso and DTAC.”

“The solid combination of skills, passion and experience of both Suvit and Wichit will add value to Grey Group Asia Pacific’s creative product. I am certain they will make a significant difference to the office’s creative goals and raise the bar on Grey Group Thailand’s work for its clients,” noted Shabaz.
