As the advertising industry faces a profound transformation driven by technology, shifting media consumption, and evolving client expectations, Jitender Dabas, Chief Executive of Cheil X and Group Chief Strategist at Cheil SWA, is positioning the agency to lead what he calls the industry’s “new world order.”
Having spent decades crafting brand strategy at the highest levels, Dabas believes that the era of siloed creative thinking is giving way to a more integrated, tech-enabled model of persuasion—one where innovation, agility, and data-powered creativity define success.“Cheil is a leader in creativity and technology. In the new world order, I can clearly see it is far more exciting and prepared for tomorrow,” says Dabas.
This “new world order” represents a seismic shift, where traditional agency hierarchies and legacy structures are being challenged by new players and digital disruptors. According to Dabas, Cheil X is uniquely equipped to navigate and shape this future, blending storytelling, data, and technology to deliver solutions that resonate with today’s always-connected consumer.“In the new world order, I don’t see fragmented solutions working. Integrated thinking is the only way forward,” he has emphasized in prior discussions.
With Cheil X, Dabas is looking beyond conventional frameworks—focusing on creating meaningful consumer impact at the intersection of creativity, commerce, and technology.
At a time when attention is scarce and expectations are high, Cheil X’s direction under Dabas signals a renewed commitment to building agile, future-ready marketing ecosystems that thrive on real-time relevance and business results.
