Mudra appoints Burnard Rajan as creative director for Kochi office

Mudra has appointed Burnard Rajan as the new creative director for its Kochi office. Rajan joins Mudra from Contract Advertising, Chennai, where he was the creative group head. Rajan will handle the creative work for Mudra Kochi's brands, including Federal Bank and Manorama Group. He will report to Joono Simon, executive creative director, Mudra, who heads the agency's South operations.

The post of creative head at Mudra Kochi was vacant for about two years before Rajan's appointment.

Rajan has worked on brands such as CavinKare, Citibank, Mitsubishi Motors, Lenovo Worldwide and ITC. The work he did for Mitsubishi Pajero and Lenovo Worldwide at Contract Advertising and Ogilvy India, respectively, is very close to his heart.
