"World peace through communication"

19 years at an advertising agency, 5 years at a global consumer goods company, and 4 years at a media company and in internet business.
These are the insights those years have given me.

As an executive director at Cheil Worldwide and TBWA Korea, I led campaigns for Samsung, SK Telecom, LG, Coupang, and adidas.
At Amway Korea, I oversaw internal and external communications as well as crisis management.
In between, I spent 7 years as an adjunct professor at Samsung SADI. I taught students who needed to make a living through design how to develop ideas and how to sell them.

For 28 years, my work has been one thing.
To draw out what is in someone else’s head and make other people want to buy it.
Along the way, I saw countless ideas that made it through and countless others that were discarded.
I want to share the difference between them.

I want everyone to bring out ideas effectively,
and I want everyone to sell their ideas effectively.

Because selling an idea means conveying my perspective and worldview.
That’s why selling an idea is the best form of communication.

If we could each sell our ideas to one another,
and if that made communication smoother for everyone,
I believe the world would become a more wonderful place.

I currently run the brand communication strategy consultancy the comm.PACT.
