    Cheil India has appointed Sudhir Das as senior Executive Creative Director (ECD). He will be responsible for overseeing the creative output of a segment of Samsung mobile business and Samsung exclusive stores.

    Das will report to Vikash Chemjong, CCO, Cheil India and will be based out of agency’s Gurugram office.

    Said Chemjong: “Sudhir when you meet him, seems alike a misfit in advertising. He doesn’t drink! Is not trying to run off to the hills/beach every chance he gets because he hates travelling! And he is a little anti-social, preferring the company of his cats more than the company of most people [but seeing the type of people surrounding us most days, I have begun to see the wisdom in it.”

    Added Sanjeev Jasani, Group COO, Cheil SWA: “I am happy to welcome Sudhir to Cheil India. He has a much-deserved reputation for being a creative maestro with a penchant for everything that is tech. His repertoire of work is amazing and eclectic in equal measures. I look forward to the unique perspective and ideas that Sudhir brings to the table, which will positively inform our campaigns.”
