‘I will have to prove myself all over again’ — Piyush Pandey on becoming global CCO at Ogilvy
Ogilvy has appointed Piyush Pandey, currently the executive chairman and chief creative officer for the agency’s South Asia operations as its global CCO. Pandey’s promotion comes shortly after the abrupt firing this July of Tham Khai Meng, the former global CCO at Ogilvy.
Pandey is one of India’s most celebrated and influential ad men. He has been instrumental in transforming Ogilvy from a stodgy agency in the 1980s to a creative powerhouse in India, over the last couple of decades.
The clients he has created some of India’s best loved campaigns for include Cadbury Dairy Milk, Asian Paints, Fevicol, and even the current national party in power, the BJP.
