dentsumcgarrybowen will not impact agencies in India, says DAN India CEO Anand Bhadkamkar

With Dentsu Aegis Network combining the creative power of mcgarrybowen in the West and Dentsu in the East under dentsumcgarrybowen in most of the countries, there will be no impact of the newly formed combined entity on the Indian market, said Anand Bhadkamkar, CEO, Dentsu Aegis Network.

“Our client-facing creative brands, Dentsu India, Dentsu Impact, Webchutney, Taproot Dentsu and Happy mcgarrybowen continue to work in the same manner,” Bhadkamkar said.

Dentsu is trying to set a strong creative setup globally. Mcgarrybowen is a very strong agency in the US and Dentsu is very strong in the East. Whenever there is a global proposition, dentsumcgarrybowen will come into play as a network there.

Announcing the launch of dentsumcgarrybowen earlier today, DAN said the new entity brings together more than 3,000 talented creative people, working in 33 locations, and representing 24 key global markets. By leveraging these two award-winning agencies, with Dentsu brand agencies’ creative reputation in Asia Pacific and mcgarrybowen’s ability to deliver ‘big organising ideas’ through their strategic creative transformation platform, this new entity establishes an unrivalled creative agency network spanning the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe.

This new global entity is part of the newly formed creative line of business at Dentsu Aegis Network that includes creative, content, design and experience agencies outside Japan, including Dentsu brand agencies Isobar, John Brown and Dentsu PR agencies, including Mitchell.

dentsumcgarrybowen will be led by Global Co-Presidents, Merlee Jayme and Jon Dupuis, who will report to Jean Lin, Global CEO, Creative, Dentsu Aegis Network. Gordon Bowen, Founder and Global Chairman of mcgarrybowen will take on the role of Global Chairman of dentsumcgarrybowen, in addition to his role of Chief Creative Officer, Dentsu Aegis Network, and will continue to celebrate and empower talent across the business.

Lin commented, “This is a critical next step for Dentsu Aegis Network’s ambition to grow a world-class global creative and experience offering and idea-led practice with innovation and technology at its heart. In this new world, business and brands need to differentiate with authenticity more than ever, and to create trust, consumers need to see and feel this behaviour across all brand touch points. The formation of dentsumcgarrybowen, together with the rich experience capabilities of sister agency Isobar, will enable Dentsu Aegis Network to deliver powerful global solutions for our clients through creative experiences at scale across the customer journey.”

Merlee Jayme, Co-President, dentsumcgarrybowen, said, “We are delighted to launch dentsumcgarrybowen and continue to grow our offering of strategic and innovative creative solutions for our clients.

Jon Dupuis, Co-President, dentsumcgarrybowen, said, “We are creating a next generation global creative agency built on a fundamental premise: that clients deserve better. Our goal is to build a network for the client needs of today and tomorrow and meet their requirements for strategic and creative expertise, delivered at global scale.  We will partner with clients to create ‘work that wins in the world’, helping them find their unleveraged advantages and applying them to help brands win—beyond their category, in culture and with consumers.”
