Mukund Sharma
Almost famous creative director
Bengaluru, Karnataka--
I'm an advertising professional with over twenty-five years of love affair with copywriting. I have
worked with JWT, Ogilvy, Rediffusion Y & R and Bates CHI & Partners. On Levi's, Foster's, Standard
Chartered Bank, IBM and Himalaya, to name a few brands across categories. I have picked up a
modest haul of awards, including Gold for Copywriting at London International Advertising Awards.
I now work independently, having been bitten by the WFH bug. I'm also a marathoner, but refuse to
divulge my timing.
