Paul Chan has been at the creative helm of Cheil since 2012.

Under his leadership, the agency has become one of the most awarded in Asia—winning over 25 Grands Prix and ‘Agency of the Year’ titles around the world.

In Campaign Brief Asia's Creative Rankings, Cheil was the #1-ranked agency in Hong Kong and 'Top 10 in Asia' for seven years running.

Paul himself was the #1 ‘Most Awarded Creative in Hong Kong’ for an unprecedented eight years straight. And in both 2020 and 2021, he topped the overall rankings as the #1 'Most Awarded Creative in Asia'.

He was also crowned the world's #1 ‘Most Awarded Copywriter’ and #6 ‘Most Awarded CCO’ in The Drum World Creative Rankings 2021.

Paul’s work has consistently been recognised throughout his career at every global award show that matters, including: Cannes Lions (22 Lions), D&AD (18 Pencils), One Show (2 Grands Prix and 12 Gold Pencils), Clio (4 Grand Clios and 11 Golds), and LIA (16 Golds).

Beyond his passion for the business, Paul is married with a beautiful wife and two very loud kids, none of whom give a flying hoot about his rankings. He has no say in the household.
