MediaTV: Spencer Wong

On the back of McCann Worldgroup's triumph at Cannes - where the agency won Hong Kong's first ever Grand Prix in the Design category for Nike's 'Paper battlefield' campaign - Spencer Wong, managing director, ECD and EVP for McCann Erickson China, tells MediaTV that blurring the lines when submitting a piece of work might be the key to success at award shows.

“Our Nike campaign was very cross-media. Of course it was entered as a poster campaign, but at the same time it was done in quite a cross-media way,” Wong said. “Hong Kong maybe has a chance to win more in the future by being naughty and not sticking to the categories to come up with more cross-media [ideas].”

Wong also comments on Asia’s creative talent, as well as the region’s reputation for being the ‘epicentre of scam’.
