Her journey in the advertising industry began with an achievement – she secured direct agency placement by emerging as the top student of Ad School. Since then, she has embarked on an exciting creative career.

Ha Lo started her professional path as a curious writer at Leo Burnett. There, she had the invaluable opportunity to immerse herself in the P&G ecosystem and collaborate with the leading local telecom brand.
