FCB Group India has seen significant developments since Global CEO Tyler Turnbull's last visit to the country. Dheeraj Sinha, renowned for driving business transformation at Leo Burnett, has been appointed CEO of FCB India and South Asia. Meanwhile, the departure of Swati Bhattacharya, a highly decorated creative leader, has left a notable gap in the group.
Although Bhattacharya led FCB India, she was widely perceived as the creative partner of Rohit Ohri, Sinha's predecessor, at a group level. Sinha's arrival signals a shift towards technology in FCB Group, known for its creative excellence in India. Despite Bhattacharya's exit being seen as a loss, Turnbull views change positively, echoing Ralph Waldo Emerson's sentiment that every wall is a door.
Turnbull expresses pride in the agency built by Rohit, Swati, and the team, while emphasizing the value of change in the dynamic advertising industry. He lauds Sinha's impact, citing impressive growth with over 20 new clients worth USD 2.5 million+ in the first quarter of 2024. Turnbull sees India as FCB's second-largest market globally, affirming its growing importance.
In a detailed discussion with Neeta Nair, Editor of IMPACT Magazine, Turnbull and Sinha delve into the transformative shifts at FCB Group India and their vision for the future.
