Contract Advertising has hired Manoj Jacob as Executive Creative Director, Bangalore. Jacob returns to Contract after a gap of six years. He has been entrusted with ensuring quality creative work at the Contract Bangalore office and will be reporting to Ashish Chakravarty, National Creative Director.

Prior to joining Contract, Jacob ran his own creative consultancy firm, working with clients such as Nova Specialty Surgery, Apollo Hospitals, Simply South Restaurant and Abs Fitness to name a few.

 

“I am very happy to have Manoj on board as the ECD of our Bangalore office. He is extremely passionate about his craft, very driven, and a hands-on kind of leader. Having worked with him in the past, I won't be surprised if he dives straight into the deep end from day one itself. It is a challenging role, but I am positive he will shine,” said Chakravarty.

With an overall experience of 17 years, Jacob has worked with O&M, McCann Erickson, SSC&B, Euro RSCG, Orchard, Publicis Ambience and Bates over the course of his career. He has also handled many leading brands across verticals such as IBM, Air Deccan, Cavin Kare, Mitsubishi Motors, Wipro Consumer Care and Weekender. At Contract, he will be partnering with Monojit Ray who recently joined Contract as Bangalore Head.

 

On his return to Contract, Jacob said, “It's an awesome new team, across disciplines, that is getting together at Contract Advertising and I'm very happy to be a part of it.”

 

Jacob's work has won him a lot acclaim and rewards, both nationally and internationally, from Cannes to New York Festival to winning at AD Spot Non-Profit Awards, Italy, and Bangalore Ad Club awards.

 

When work doesn't keep Jacob busy, music does. He is a singer-songwriter-guitar player. He has written, composed, arranged and recorded two original albums, and a few jingles for his clients.
