SURIYA CHANVIPASWONGSEArt Director

After his graduation, he spent quite a long time to find a job. He had applied for many positions, but he was unsuccessful. He thought that he was not fit with those jobs.  

After spending some time to think it over about his life, Suriya finally decided to get into an advertising career. He did not have a degree in Advertisement or even had a connection with someone in advertising business.

Suriya has read almost all of the books about advertisement including pocket books and advertising awards books. He also shell out his savings to buy Cannes DVD, SHOTS, ARCHIVE to learn more about it. Knowing that without a degree of Advertisement, he would have to try harder to fulfil his dream.

He attained almost all of advertising media seminars and hope that one day he would get into this business circle or someone would recognise him.

Finally, his dream started to blend into reality. He became a trainee at SPA advertising as a copywriter.

During his work period, he found a thread in Pantip website saying that there’s an advertising seminar held by Amarin Publishing. Without hesitation, he joined them although he had to spend all of his savings with for course.

And finally he is getting closer to his goal. His work from the workshop got the 2^nd rank out of 31.

From that seminar he got a chance to work at McCann Erickson, where Mr. Yutthana, a CD and a seminar helder ask him to join his team.

He started his career path working as an Art Director without having any Photoshop and Illustrator skills. Because of his determination, he had learned everything by himself and after that he was successful in this position.

He won 2^nd prize of Award School of Australia after working at McCann Erickson for only1 year.

He got Bronze Prize from ADMAN, in ARS Chalk campaign, and also got Certificate award from B.A.D. in the same campaign.

And he got to the Finalist Cannes 2010 of T.A.T. Beach Sandal.

After that he work at TBWA Thailand as a Senior Art Director. After a 6 month work, he decided to quit his job to help his father’s office work and stared his own small business.

Today, he is ready to be back to the advertising society.
