About me

Ben feels that from birth his destiny has been International. A graduate of The University of Oregon, where he received a BSC in International Business, Ben also has a Master?s Degree from Thunderbird in Arizona. His first advertising job was with McCann Erickson L.A., working on the US Borax household products account. After leaving McCann to join Grey, Ben set out overseas, working first in Venezuela on Procter & Gamble and General Foods and then in Japan on Rothmans and P&G again. He then made the fateful move to Hong Kong, becoming Managing Director of Grey and later Director of Grey S.E. Asia. In total, Ben has spent the last 18 years overseas, 15 of these in Asia. Since the end of 1994 he has been with FCB helping design and orchestrate the important changes that have been taking place in the agency.
