What does it take to lead a 60-year-old agency to win its first Cannes Lion? A lion, a Sherpa, a boss who isn’t bossy, and a prime number. Alice Chou, who has been described as all of above.
Alice is as persistent as a lion on the prowl when exploring new territories, and she acts like a Sherpa guiding new hires to international stage without arrogance. Her pursuit of creative excellence is likened to a prime number that cannot be divided.
Alice was named Outstanding Creative Person of the Year at the Taiwan; Advertiser Association, creative leader in Women Leading Change Awards, and been selected in “Women to Watch”.
Since bagging the Lion, she has also won Grand Prix in Adfest, Adstar and other major creative awards in Asia-Pacific. Alice increased the visibility of Taiwan’s creatives and lent the country’s unique perspective to the world.
