Mayur Hola HAVAS.jpgHavas Group India has appointed Mayur Hola as National Creative Director, for Havas Creative, effective immediately. Hola will be based out of the Gurgaon office and will work closely with the newly appointed Bobby Pawar, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer Havas Group India. 

Hola (pictured left) replaces Nima Namchu, who moved on from the agency in November last year.

Having worked across agencies like McCann, TBWA, and Grey, Hola’s last stint was with Contract Advertising as ECD and EVP.

“I remember joining a business where one entered the office, walked past accounts, admin, media, servicing, health, studio, films, creative and finally the kitchen. All under one roof, working together on the brands we partnered, and then it all went to pieces, quite literally,” said Hola.

“Today we are back to that model, which is the only way forward. One which Havas has intuitively followed long before the flood. 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.” said Hola.

Bobby Pawar HAVAS.jpgCommenting on the appointment Pawar (pictured right) 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.”
