One of my first posts overseas was in Kula Lumpur Malaysia and I encountered a wild and talented creative team there Harmandar Singh and Peter Wong…
Sadly Peter passed away last week and his partner “Ham” gave this eulogy:

* Wild and Wicked *

Once upon a time I worked in ad agency McCann Erickson .

For almost 8 years, I partnered with an amazing Art Director called Peter Wong.

Peter was a force of nature, and together we were the bad ass creative duo.

We were rude, reckless and rowdy.

We fought for our work and did not suffer fools.

Our inflated egos could float the planet.

Peter drove a white Ford Laser Sports hatchback.

I drove a black Ford Laser Sports hatchback.

He had a drum set in our room that took up more space than his and my desk areas combined.

He wrote a song that won a massive RTM award.

We worked around the clock and client management feared us.

I once threw a keyphone at an account director.

We were a pain.

But the work was dazzling.

And the awards aplenty.

Peter passed away last week, and with that, a big part of my life in advertising is now a distant memory.

My love and blessings to his wife Anna and son Ethan.

And to those in the industry, my message is simple: it’s ok to be mad, upset, crude, fearless and adamant about your work.

The world needs more politically incorrect talent like Peter Wong.

Creative combustion rules.

The rest is admin and data.
