GERALDINE OH
Copy-based Creative Director
As a child, Geraldine would find herself singing to cheezy 80’s jingles, or communicating with her Speak & Spell. Maybe somehow, somewhere along her life, the cosmos aligned and said, “Hey, let’s make this little girl a copywriter.” So here she is, writing copy and thinking ideas and stories for the commercial world.
Geraldine is also a self-confessed Facebook & Instagram addict who loves to post about her two amusing children and their exploits. It’s not in her nature to brag but she did win an EFFIE while being pregnant and freelancing at Ogilvy Singapore. Her other claim to fame was appearing on the cover of The Straits Times dressed as a kidney. We don’t need to know why.
Her itchy foot and restless soul have taken her beyond Singapore shores – to the pristine white beaches of Australia, dark alleys of Kathmandu and the bright city lights of New York. On a normal day, you can usually find her stretched out on a yoga mat, dreaming of her next idea or story.
