Famous Innovations has announced the appointment of Senthil Kumar as Managing Partner and Chief Creative Officer, Bengaluru. As part of the leadership team, Kumar joins the agency as a partner and will spearhead creative excellence while contributing to business expansion and strengthening the agency’s presence in the Bengaluru market.
Kumar joins Famous Innovations from VML, where he most recently held the position of Chief Creative Officer. His appointment marks the end of a distinguished 25-year journey across agencies within the JWT, Wunderman Thompson, and VML network.
With over two decades of experience in the advertising industry, Kumar has built an impressive career leading creative teams and delivering impactful campaigns for some of the world’s most recognized brands. He began his tenure with JWT in 2001 as Creative Director before progressing to Executive Creative Director in 2007. In 2014, he was elevated to National Creative Director at JWT India and later became Chief Creative Officer at Wunderman Thompson India in 2018. Following the agency’s transition into VML, Kumar continued as Chief Creative Officer, VML India, a role he held until June 2026.
Throughout his career, Kumar has played a pivotal role in shaping campaigns for brands including Nike, Levi’s, Google, Pepsi, The Times of India, Unilever, Tata, and Star Sports. His work has earned recognition on global creative platforms, including Cannes Lions, D&AD, and The One Show.
Commenting on the appointment, Senthil Kumar, Managing Partner & CCO, Bengaluru, said, “Famous has always been a maverick — independent, fearless and built on the belief that a great idea can come from anywhere and go everywhere. I’m not here to run a creative department; I’m here to build, as a partner and an owner, and to make work that doesn’t just win in the room but moves the world outside it.”
Raj Kamble, Founder & Chief Creative Officer, Famous Innovations, added, “Senthil and I have each spent 25 years chasing the same thing — ideas that make people feel something. What excites me most is that he joins us as a partner, an entrepreneur, an owner who will build a business the way only a founder can. That hunger to build, and not just to make ads, is exactly what Famous is made of. Watch this space.”
The appointment underscores Famous Innovations’ continued focus on strengthening its leadership team and accelerating growth through entrepreneurial talent and creative excellence.
