About

Hello, I’m EJ and I help ambitious brands around the world find their voice and make a cultural impact. Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked in Manila, Bangkok, Amsterdam, and London in different roles on a variety of accounts, guiding teams and developing world class creative solutions for nearly every market. This journey has given me the privilege of understanding what kind and shape of work travels, connects, and resonates. Together with my partner and an incredible cast of collaborators, I’ve created work that’s made the news, sparked memes, and pushed boundaries in entertainment and tech. Along the way, we've earned over 80 awards from Cannes Lions, Effies, Clios, D&AD, The One Show, and others. But beyond the fun of working with brilliant people, what I love most is the opportunity and unique responsibility to send a message to millions at a moment in time. Something I've never taken lightly. Team book: katandej.com.
