Wong’s 2021 Shot on iPhone film, Nian, achieved unprecedented global attention including the award for Best Short Film at Tribeca X, Best in Show for Adweek’s Brand Storytelling Awards and a feature in Variety Magazine. In 2022, Wong’s iPhone campaign, The Comeback, did it all again, taking home another win from Tribeca X and his third Gold at Cannes Lions.

Backed by more than 200 trophies, including back-to-back Gold Cannes Lions, Wong was ranked the #2 Creative Director in Asia. The creative leader has been awarded at Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, Clio, Tribeca X, ADC, London International Awards, Andy Awards, Adweek, Spikes Asia, AdFest, LongXi, Hong Kong Kam Fan and the EFFIEs.

Wong believes that creativity should have no boundaries, neatly demonstrated through his wide range of clients from consumer goods to finance to food and beverage, including Apple, Sony, Samsung, P&G, McDonalds, Pfizer, Hang Send Bank, La Mer, IBM and Ikea.
