With over 20 years in the creative industry, Khalid still approaches every brief with the same fresh perspective and hands-on approach he had on day one. This dedication led to him being named Creative Director of the Year at the Institute of Advertising Singapore's Hall of Fame Awards.

Throughout his career, he's collaborated with incredibly talented teams, producing remarkable campaigns that have garnered 24 Cannes Lions and a Grand Prix at Spikes Asia 2024. Khalid is also humbled to be included on prestigious award show juries, including Cannes Lions, Spikes Asia, Young Guns, and the Creative Circle Awards.

His work has resonated beyond the industry, earning him recognition in publications like Mashable, Fast Company, and Contagious.

In 2017, Khalid co-founded BLKJ, an agency quickly recognised for its creative and innovative approach, known for its "unadvertising" mantra. Within two years, it was named the most creative independent agency in Singapore.

BLKJ Havas has continued its success, remaining a top-ranked agency in Singapore and a top 10 agency in the region.
