Ogilvy has promoted Sujoy Roy and Nitin Srivastava as Chief Creative Officers (CCO) for Ogilvy Gurugram.
Sujoy Roy joined Ogilvy fresh out of college two decades ago. In his 20-year journey, Roy has worked across three Ogilvy offices – Mumbai, Kolkata and Colombo, Sri Lanka. Seven years ago, he parlayed that dual expertise into establishing the Ogilvy Design Cell, which he now leads across Ogilvy India.
Over the years, he has amassed a collection of awards at Cannes, Clio, One Show, the London International Festival, Ad Fest Asia Pacific, Young Guns and almost every Indian advertising award show. From Coca-Cola and Nestlé to Unilever, Marico, ITC, Asian Paints, Zandu, M P Birla, Pantaloons and Eveready, he has lent his creative streak to some of the biggest brands in the business.
In addition to his national contributions, Roy has played a pivotal role in building Ogilvy East. Working in his mother tongue, Bengali, he has crafted campaigns that resonate deeply, proving that great advertising transcends geography and language – a testament to his knack for tapping into cultural insights.
Nitin Srivastava is currently the Senior Executive Creative Director and Creative Head (Luxury and Beauty), Ogilvy North, and has experience across categories on brands like Coca-Cola, Absolut, Chivas, Jameson, MINI, The Park Hotels, Incredible India and WWF. He has played a significant role in creating iconic brands for Pernod Ricard within the alcobev market over the last 20 years.
Kainaz Karmakar, Harshad Rajadhyaksha and Sukesh Nayak, Chief Creative Officers, Ogilvy India, said, “Sujoy and Nitin are Ogilvy stalwarts. Over the years both have created a stellar body of brave work that has helped grow business and reputation for their partners. Their benchmark-setting work across mediums has created impact and earned numerous recognitions locally and globally. But more importantly, it has also earned the love and admiration of our consumers and clients. We are thrilled to see our people step up and take on senior leadership roles. We believe the two of them, along with their partners will push the boundaries of work. Their individual love for design and ideas will come together to write a new chapter for Ogilvy Gurugram.”
