Ex-Dentsu ECDs Amardeep Singh and Naren Kaimal join M&C Saatchi

Both Kaimal and Singh have worked together at Mudra and Dentsu Communication. They are joining M&C Saatchi as executive creative directors

Two of Dentsu's creative professionals, Amardeep Singh and Naren Kaimal, who quit the agency in November 2006, have now joined M&C Saatchi as executive creative directors.

Both Singh and Kaimal have worked together in the past at Mudra. At M&C Saatchi, they will report to chairman and managing director Kamal Oberoi.

Singh, who is currently in Manali, has confirmed this development to agencyfaqs! He will join the agency starting January 15, 2007. Says Singh, "As per M&C Saatchi's philosophy, there is a vision even for failure and that tempted us to join the agency."

Prior to Dentsu, Singh worked with Contract Advertising. Singh's stint at Contract lasted for six years and, while there, he worked on brands such as Domino's Pizza, Dabur and JK Tyres. He has also worked with agencies such as Grey Worldwide (then Trikaya Grey) and McCann-Erickson.

Kaimal started his career at Madhyam and he has worked with agencies such as Mudra, Dhar & Hoon, RK Swamy/BBDO and FCB-Ulka.
