Happy mcgarrybowen Gurgaon hires Vimal Singh as senior creative director
Happy mcgarrybowen has appointed Vimal Singh as its senior creative director and Varun Khullar as creative director in its Gurgaon creative team.
 
Vimal Singh moves from Ogilvy, Gurgaon while Varun Khullar moves from Happy mcgarrybowen Bangalore after a three year stint.
 
Singh started his advertising career 14 years ago with Ogilvy Calcutta. Since then, he’s worked with agencies such as McCann Delhi, Contract advertising, and has done two stints with Ogilvy Gurgaon. He’s worked on numerous brands like Coca-Cola, Fanta, Mother Dairy, Domino’s Pizza, Google, Phillips, WWF among others. “I’ve always loved the kind of work Happy mcgarrybowen has done over a decade and when the opportunity to join the team came along, it didn’t take me a moment to grab it,” says Singh.
 
Khullar has been in the advertising world for the best part of the last decade with stints at Ogilvy, McCann, Creativeland Asia. “I’ve been a part of the bucktoothed brigade for a good three years now and each has been more interesting and challenging than the previous. I joined the Bangalore office as a glorified daydreamer who helps big brands sell their stuff. But the forging torches at Happy mcgarrybowen moulded and chiseled me into something resembling a Creative Director,” says Varun.
 
Kartik Iyer, co-founder and CEO said, “We are very happy to have the quality of talent that Vimal and Varun bring to the already energetic team at Happy mcgarrybowen Gurgaon. I look forward to them pushing the envelope of Happy’s creative product.”
