    MUMBAI: Contract Advertising has appointed Rahul Ghosh as vice president and senior creative director at its Mumbai office.

    Contract Advertising NCD Ashish Chakravarty said, “Rahul and I had a short but glorious run together back at Euro RSCG, Delhi, in the early 2000’s. We won some big accounts, few metals, and had a whale of a time while at it. He has grown into a leadership role since then, and created a solid body of work along the way, including my favourite ‘Manu-Ranjan ka baap’ commercial for SET Max. So I am delighted to have him on board.”

    Prior to this, Rahul was the group creative director at TBWA, Mumbai. This is Rahul’s second stint at Contract, who comes in with an experience of 17 years. In his new role, he will be leading a creative team and will be reporting to Kapil Mishra.

    “Contract is going through an exciting phase – a new belief, new team and new buzz. There is a place where it wants to be and getting to bat in a line-up led by Ashish Chakravarty was an offer that was difficult to refuse,” said Rahul on his joining Contract.
