I’m Sagar Jadhav, and I’ve spent the last decade (and then some) doing what I love—creating ideas that move people.
From my early days in advertising to now being an Executive Creative Director at Ogilvy Mumbai, the journey has been nothing short of thrilling. Along the way, my work has picked up 100+ awards across the biggest creative stages in the world—from Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, Clio, and Spikes Asia to Effies, Lürzer’s Archive, Kyoorius, and beyond.
There have been some incredible milestones—winning a Titanium Lion and two Grand Prix Lions, among other big wins. In 2020 and 2023, I was named one of India’s most awarded creatives by Campaign Brief Asia Creative Rankings. I’ve also judged D&AD New Blood and Kyoorius Awards, where I got to witness and nurture some of the best up-and-coming talent in the industry.
I got the recognition in Social Samosa’s ‘40 Under 40’, and it was fantastic to see my name in The Drum’s Top 100 Creative Directors global rankings. Moments like these remind me why I love what I do.
I don’t believe in resting on past wins. Creativity is an ever-moving target, and what worked yesterday might not work tomorrow. That’s why I’m always looking for new ways to tell stories, and lately, AI has been my playground.
Cannes Lion Idea Finder GPT – aims to inspire and educate the younger generation about the great ideas shaping the world and to help them learn more. It even got picked up by Social Samosa.
AI Remix Experiments – I started my own YouTube channel, AIREMIX, where I play around with AI-generated music remixes.
AI-Generated Ads – Experimenting with AI tools to create fresh, never-seen-before ad experiences. [Ad Link]
The Brands I’ve Been Lucky to Work With
Over the years, I’ve crafted stories for some of the world’s biggest brands, including:
Cadbury Dairy Milk, Coca-Cola, P&G Gillette, Airbnb, Sport 18, DHL, Star TV, Standard Chartered Bank, GoDaddy, Nicorette, and many more.
At the heart of it all, I believe that the best idea is the next idea. Whether it’s through storytelling, tech, or a wild mix of both, I’m here to keep pushing what’s possible.
