Team Spotlight Series: Creative Director

Name: Thant Zin
Title: Creative Director
Department: Creative Team
Series Edition: #1

1. What inspires your creative direction at Blink?

Inspiration hits me everywhere, downtown streets, rural horizons, movies, music, even the endless scroll of social feeds. I transform these daily sparks into creative thinking and big ideas that connect with people.

2. How do you balance bold creativity with real client needs?

For me, creativity only works when it meets real client goals. I find the balance by listening to both sides, what people want to experience and what the client wants to communicate.

I bridge the two by shaping ideas that excite people while delivering exactly what the brand needs to say.

3. How do you empower your creative team?

I let my team be free, free to think, create, and push boundaries, while keeping the big idea as our compass. That’s how ideas come to life.

4. Describe a campaign you’re most proud of.

What I’m most proud of is how our creative team takes one big idea and turns it into campaigns that live everywhere and in people’s minds. Every campaign feels like a win because of the teamwork behind it.

5. What advice do you have for young creatives looking to join agencies?

Look everywhere for inspiration: campaigns, everyday sights, anything that sparks an idea. Learn by doing, whether through internships or projects, and then take what you’ve seen to create something entirely your own. That’s how great creatives are made.
