Commercial ‘scientists’

In an art competition in college, Eric Hor came in second, behind a more talented friend. Later in life they bumped into each other again. Hor was surprised to learn his friend had left the advertising industry and taken up a totally different career – managing a food business.  

“He found the demands of advertising trying; it was difficult juggling between responsibilities to his family and to work,” says Hor, now Head of Design for one of the country’s top advertising agencies, BBDO Malaysia.
