Siddharth Kumar Joins Infectious Advertising as Creative Director

Infectious Advertising has announced the appointment of Siddharth Kumar as its new Creative Director, bringing a seasoned creative mind back into the heart of advertising after a detour into filmmaking.

With a career spanning over 15 years, Siddharth has held key creative roles at leading agencies like Ogilvy, McCann, Leo Burnett, VML, and Publicis. During his journey, he’s been instrumental in crafting campaigns for some of the world’s most influential brands including Coca-Cola, Unilever, MasterCard, Airtel, Nestlé, Vodafone, and SBI.

Before his latest role, Siddharth explored his passion for cinema—writing, directing, and producing four short films. This experience, he believes, has sharpened his storytelling sensibilities and creative vision.

Driving a Culture of Creativity

Sharing his thoughts on the new role, Siddharth said,

“My goal is to help build a culture where storytelling thrives. I believe my role is to push the envelope, stir things up, and encourage new kinds of madness.”

His approach signals a renewed focus on fresh ideas, narrative depth, and creative risk-taking at Infectious Advertising.
