Ng’s previous role was global chief creative officer at Isobar. In 2019 Isobar had their most successful year at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, and Ng was one of the key players in that milestone.
"We are making a huge bet on MRM being even more of a force for McCann Worldgroup going forward, so adding the highest caliber talent is priority number one," said Rob Reilly, Global Creative chairman of McCann Worldgroup. "But you also need that talent to be wildly inspiring and genuinely a good person. Ronald is the gold standard when it comes to this rare combination."
