Leo Burnett India strengthens its creative team by bringing on board Mayuresh Dubhashi and Sonal Chhajerh as Executive Creative Directors.

They will both be based out of Mumbai. In addition to this, Leo Burnett India has also elevated and announced 5 new Associate Executive Creative Directors - Archit Gadiyar (Mumbai), Vikrant Yadav (Mumbai), Pradeep Kumar (Mumbai), Ashish Sharma (Bangalore) and Sudhir Das (Delhi).

Mayuresh's last stint was with Grey Worldwide where he was ECD whereas Sonal was with Publicis Singapore prior to Leo Burnett. Together the duo will take on the mantle of creating work which is clutter-breaking and reflective of the Leo Burnett philosophy of creating Acts, not ads.

Some of the brands he has worked on include Airtel, Mountain Dew, Mumbai Mirror, Maharashtra Times to name a few. Sonal comes in with a global background having worked in Singapore, Hong Kong, South Africa and has worked on brands like Dove, South African Tourism, HP, Vicks, Oral B and more.
