Their local shop took home 12 awards in the 1995 Singapore Creative Awards. The following year, the agency rose to one of the top 3 in Singapore. With the track record of winning every pitch during the last 3 and 1/2 years, his local shop was bought over by TBWA, and became TBWA Fong, Haque & Soh.​With a few good men--Jimmy Lam, David Sun, and Tomaz Mok, the 4 Wise Men, also known as the 4 Godfathers, founded the World Chinese Creative Awards "Long Xi." Today, it is the only Chinese award that is recognized by the western world.​He proceed to set up "The Noble House," a creative brands consultancy that specializes in Chinese creative content. Again the group won many local and overseas awards, including best Chinese copywriting and art direction award.

The next year, the Shanghai office expectedly won many major accounts as well as their fair share of awards. ​In the year 2005, he stepped down from his CEO role, found a seat on the Worldwide Creative Board, and became Saatchi's greater China and North Asia Chief Creative Officer. He now masquerades as a judge at the local and international award shows; these include the coveted Cannes in both print and outdoor categories.​He was also invited to talk at most of the colleges in mainland China, as well as the rest of the world, and is a regular speaker at the Asia Pacific region.
