Plutschow has joined the agency from a senior creative position at Hakuhodo in China. In a statement, Phil Rubel (left), Saatchi & Saatchi Fallon’s chief executive, said that Plutschow’s Japanese-Swiss background would be an asset to the agency.

“Patrick is a rare talent within the Japanese creative community,” Rubel said, adding that the appointment represented a “key part” of the agency’s evolution.

Prior to his stint at Hakuhodo, Plutschow worked at a number of agencies including TBWA Chiat Day, Leo Burnett, Beacon Communications and Lowe. He has also worked alongside Toyota and Procter & Gamble, two of Saatchi & Saatchi’s largest global clients.

Saatchi & Saatchi’s Tokyo office was rolled into Fallon in that market in May. Several of the agency's creatives left earlier this year to set up M&C Saatchi Tokyo.

Major clients for the agency also include Henieken.
