“We are making a huge bet on MRM being even more of a force for McCann Worldgroup going forward, so adding the highest caliber talent is priority number one,” said Rob Reilly, Global Creative Chairman of McCann Worldgroup. “But you also need that talent to be wildly inspiring and genuinely a good person. Ronald is the gold standard when it comes to this rare combination.”

At the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2021, Ng will serve as Jury President of the inaugural Creative Business Transformation Lions category.
Ng said, "MRM is uniquely organized to help brands win by building meaningful relationships with people. I can't wait to partner with Kate, Rob, the teams and clients to connect the dots between technology, data, commerce and strategy, and supercharge it all with creativity. When we crack the code for innovative experiences, there is unlimited potential for what we can achieve together."
