\n Katya Obolensky \n Managing Director <\/span> <\/h3>\n \n

\n

Katya has over fifteen years of experience working at top advertising agencies in both NYC and London. Having started her career on the Microsoft\u00a0account at JWT NYC, Katya then moved to London to work at M&C Saatchi – working across\u00a0a range of clients including Hyundai, Currys\/PC World, Public Health England, and Havana Club. After starting a few cultural initiatives, she then took on a network role helping to nurture the international offices as well as pitch for international clients – one of whom was BASF which she won and then went on to run.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When she was ready for a change, Katya joined VCCP in 2015 where she decided to try her hand at Telco, working specifically on O2 in London. From there she went on to run the entire fully\u00a0integrated account giving her\u00a0exposure to every aspect of an extremely\u00a0multi-faceted brand. When O2 and Virgin Media merged, she was part of the pitch team that retained O2 and won Virgin Media, going on to run both brands, delivering award winning work and, most recently, achieving the most effective Q4 yet. Now in Singapore, she continues to\u00a0nurture her interest in truly understanding her client’s business and further expanding VCCP\u2019s APAC presence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Outside of work you can find\u00a0Katya exploring new restaurants, chasing her young kids around a splash park or hopping on a plane to explore somewhere new!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n

\n Andrew Hook \n Regional Executive Creative Director<\/span> <\/h3>\n \n

\n

Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Andrew first plied his trade in Middle Earth, working at boutique shop Generator for five years. Then in 2005, restlessness took hold of him, so he packed his bags and set sail for the tropics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His first stop was the venerable Batey Ads in Singapore. He was promoted to ECD of Batey at the tender age of 32, and managed the global relaunch of Qatar Airways out of the Singapore office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He then spent 4 years at DDB, as creative lead for the Health Promotion Board, before taking the reins in 2014 at Havas. During his tenure there, the agency\u2019s work was recognised at Cannes, Spikes, One Show, D&AD and the Effies, while also picking up metal at the Agency of the Year Awards in back-to-back years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In early 2019, Andrew joined VCCP Singapore as Regional Executive Creative Director.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n
