Tim Ho is the founder of creative word-of-mouth agency SALT, which operates in Hong Kong, Toronto, and Mexico. Prior to founding the agency, Tim was a Regional Digital Strategist and one of the earliest members at Social@Ogilvy Asia. He did strategic planning for more than 20 global brands within the agency. As a career highlight, he led the a global multi-award winning campaign – Huggies Babies on-the-go, which became one of the most remarkable and successful social media cases in Asia, also became one of the first cases in Asia officially featured by Facebook.

His passion in understanding the art of influence, along with his fine art and design background helped him develop simple, creative and integrated ideas of marketing solutions that capture consumers’ behavior.

As a student in Ontario College of Art and Design, professors called Tim “the most artistic rebel”. He created one of his final sculpture projects by picking up other students’ scraped and useless wood pieces, spent less than 2 hours in the studio and got one of the highest mark in class. This is how much he believes in the power of packaging stories and simple communication behind big ideas.

Tim has over 7 years of experience in Digital Marketing. In 2005, he founded a boutique web design and e-marketing agency Kluu. In 2007, he started to look into online word of mouth for business and worked with local organizations like modeling agencies, colleges and local stores as a consultant in Toronto.

Tim has been extremely active in art, advertising and marketing events. He was interviewed, mentioned, and quoted by Facebook and regional publications such as China Daily, Campaign Asia, Marketing Magazine, The Holmes Report and a number of international blogs. He is the creator and author of a featured ebook “Social Media Basics for Executives”.
