Oliver Wong, Business Director

In just four years, Ollie has progressed from Senior Executive to Business Director, establishing himself as one of the industry's most promising emerging leaders. Combining exceptional strategic thinking with operational excellence, he has consistently delivered business growth for clients while elevating the capabilities of those around him. Ollie's impact is evidenced across multiple high-profile initiatives. He helped architect Jack Daniel's Revive Live, a campaign supporting grassroots music venues that contributed to sales growth outperforming the market by 31%. He also transformed RDG's National Marketing Campaigns from a one-off activation into an always-on programme delivering sustained commercial returns.

Beyond client work, Ollie has played a significant role in strengthening strategic capability across the wider business. As a leading planning tool ambassador, he has trained colleagues, supported pitches and helped raise planning standards across the agency. Driven by a passion for gaming, he was instrumental in developing Publicis' gaming proposition, PLAY, helping evolve it from a niche initiative into an award-winning commercial offering. His pioneering work on RDG's Roblox collaboration delivered a 12% increase in ticket sales and earned Campaign and Drum awards, while also helping secure wider partnerships with Meta, Mondelēz and Lego. In recognition of his contribution, more than 450 colleagues voted him Spark's Most Valuable Player in 2024.
