Satbir Singh quits FCB Ulka

He joined the agency as chief creative officer in January this year.

Satbir Singh, chief creative officer (CCO), FCB Ulka, has put in his papers, ending a year-long stint with the agency. He will be with the agency until the end of December. It is learnt that he is evaluating options for his next destination.

"It has been a short, but enjoyable stint with FCB Ulka. In this brief period, I was fortunate to work with excellent people who created much talked-about campaigns like the ones for Snapdeal, Tata Salt, and Zee. It's been a good year in every aspect -- from clients, to brands, to people," says Singh.

Singh had quit Havas Worldwide, where he spent nine years, to join FCB Ulka. He moved to Mumbai for this new role, and joined the agency in mid-February this year.

He joined Euro RSCG (later rebranded as Havas) as executive creative director in 2005, and was promoted to CCO in 2007.

In his two-decade long career, he worked on nearly every product category in agencies like Trikaya Grey (now Grey), Leo Burnett, Contract, Equus, Ulka, and Ogilvy.

Over the years, Singh has worked on brands like Daewoo Automobiles, Volvo, LML, Panasonic, Voltas, LG and Reckitt Benckiser, and has led and authored award-winning campaigns like Incredible India! for India Tourism, and Bajate Raho for Red FM.
