Kingdom Digital Malaysia has appointed Kevin Teh as Creative Director as the agency looks to strengthen its creative offering across Southeast Asia and expand its focus on AI-enabled creativity, digital experiences and culturally relevant brand storytelling.

Teh (pictured) brings 17 years of industry experience to the role and will lead the agency’s creative direction across regional markets, working closely with Strategy Director Edmund Lou to develop integrated solutions that combine data, technology and creativity.

He said the opportunity to build on Kingdom Digital’s digital-first foundations while helping shape its next creative chapter was a major draw.

“I was drawn to Kingdom Digital’s clear ambition to push the boundaries of what a modern agency can be,” said Teh. “There is a profound opportunity here to move beyond mere execution and deliver ideas that shape business and culture. I look forward to helping define the next version of our creative standard.”

Looking ahead, Teh said the ambition is to create work that earns its place in culture: “We want ideas that deserve to exist in culture and experiences people can interact with, not just content they scroll past. When the work is confident, memorable, and recognisably Kingdom Digital even without the logo, that’s when we know we’re on the right track.”

Kingdom Digital CEO Ryan Ong said Teh’s appointment reinforces the agency’s commitment to creativity as a driver of business growth.

“Kevin brings a rare balance of creative ambition and commercial discipline. He understands that creativity and performance are not separate, creativity is the growth engine behind performance. His focus on culturally resonant ideas and distinctive thinking makes him the right fit to lead Kingdom Digital Malaysia’s creative evolution,” said Ong.

Teh will also help lead the agency’s AI-enabled creative capabilities, viewing AI as a tool to enhance, rather than replace, creative thinking.

“AI is removing friction from execution. When production becomes faster and more accessible, the value shifts to taste, judgement and originality,” he said. “AI-enabled creativity is about accelerating exploration. You can test more directions, visualise ideas earlier, and unlock possibilities that weren’t practical before. But tools don’t decide what’s worth making. People do.”

The appointment follows a period of growth for Kingdom Digital, with recent client wins including Malaysia Airlines, Spritzer, iProperty Malaysia, redBus and Counterpain, as the agency continues to expand its regional footprint.
