Other works included campaigns for Liberal Democratic Party (for Junichiro Koizumi), Toyota, Shiseido, Suntory, Thai Airways International and Shizuoka broadcasting. She has also judged for the Times Asia-Pacific Awards, Clio, YoungGuns, AdFest, Kam Fan Awards, Cannes、Mediaspikes and One Show.

GRAHAM KELLY
Executive Creative Director / Creative Integrator
TBWA \ Tequila, Singapore

In 1986, Graham graduated with a BSc Honours Degree in Chemistry from Edinburgh University. This proved a surprisingly good preparation for his first job in advertising - copywriter for a Dutch business-to-business agency specialising in the chemicals industry.

Realising that doing ads for consumers was a bit more fun that writing for chemical engineers, Graham decided to work in mainstream advertising.

Since then Graham has worked with the world's leading creative agencies, including: Ogilvy & Mather, Leo Burnett, Saatchi & Saatchi, and BBH

On January 15th 2007, Graham joined TBWA/Tequila, as ECD/"Creative Integrator", Asia. As such, Graham plays a key role in developing creative work across all media. Graham won the Singapore Airlines business - arguably Asia's most prestigious account win - after 4 months in the job.
