“I worked with James on many clients in many different continents. The common denominator in all these experiences was not just James’ talent, but his calm, optimistic demeanour and his ability to be a team player. Whether in Asia, Europe or America, his contributions were always felt and his ideas were often the ones that percolated to the top, yet he never needed an overblown ego to achieve this.”

“I first met James in Hong Kong more than 10 years ago. He was the ECD heading up our office there. Over the years, James moved to Germany to run our office there. Then to New York to work on, well, everything. And through the years, I was fortunate to work with James on all manner of SWATs and projects from Nissan to Visa to McDonald’s. That's the thing with James. No job too big. No job too small. Because to him, any and every assignment is simply a chance to do something great. He truly believes that. Maybe that’s why everybody loves James. From the toughest clients to the most demanding creative directors. From the most senior people to the most junior -- whom he always makes time for. Why? Because James is James. There’s simply no one else like him.”

“James is a scholar and a gentleman. He showed me that business changing ideas can come from anywhere, but you have to be open eyed, receptive, and available to them. James has an eagle eye for noticing disruptive ideas (and talent), and he doesn't care if it comes from an account person, a producer, a designer, or anyone else within ear shot. James makes the whole team feel part of the discovery process, and because of that, teams work harder, play harder, and succeed more often. Working with James has taught me a lot, and luckily for me he continues to share his sage advice many years after working at TBWA. James is more than his resume, more than his business acumen, and more than his impressive list of awards - he’s a great human being.”

“I had the distinct pleasure of working with James, when he was leading TBWA's creative Department in Hong Kong; and again, later, in New York. James has a powerful and refined creative mind, he is a true professional and one of the most elegant and inspiring team leaders I have ever seen. James is an absolute pleasure to work with and any organization can only be stronger with James.”

“In a world bursting with people that are ill-mannered, curt, impolite, discourteous, rude and arrogant, in which I fall into sometimes…there comes a breath of fresh air. A man by the name of James Cheung. He is just the opposite. He is kind, considerate, thoughtful and caring, while being creatively brilliant. A talented man who can put it all down on paper. He can write…boy, can he write. James is witty beyond belief and is a firm believer of a quote I subscribe to - when in doubt, risk it.”

“James gets it. I can't say that about too many people. Creative talents are as numerous as starlings. But few can harness their creativity into effective strategies like James can. He instantly sees through to the nut of any problem, comes up with completely original solutions, and wrangles them through to fulfillment. That’s a creative director.”
