Mumbai:  Havas Group India has announced the appointment of Mayur Hola as national creative director for Havas Creative, effective immediately. Hola replaces Nima Namchu, who moved on from the agency in November last year.

Based out of Gurgaon office, he will be closely working with Havas Group India chairman and chief creative officer Bobby Pawar to lead a refreshed creative proposition by leveraging the group’s integrated capabilities.

Having worked across agencies like Mc cann, TBWA, and Grey, Hola’s last stint was with Contract Advertising as ECD and EVP. Leveraging expertise and experience on a variety of brands across sectors which include, Nescafe, Pan Vilas, Tata Docomo, National Geographic, Truecaller, KFC, Dominos, Droom, and Truly Madly, Hola is credited with numerous award-winning campaigns, across industry forums like Effies and Abbys.

Commenting on the appointment Havas Group India chairman and chief creative officer Bobby Pawar said “Mayur has got a great body of work.  He is a really good creative director, people and clients want to work with him. But that is not why I picked him to be National Creative Director, for Havas, I chose to work with him because he is not afraid of venturing into the unknown, trying new things or new ways to do traditional stuff.”

Mayur Hola added, “It takes a village to raise a brand and the Havas village is physically and philosophically integrated to help brands produce tech enabled, measurable work. In addition to that, having access to the Vivendi Group Companies, (UM, Dailymotion Gameloft) is super exciting. Now to make sure that the creative product looks and works as well as the promise is on paper. I look forward to going back to the future, with Bobby and Rana who are so full of verve and bring with them such a positive whirlwind of change.”
