FCB Neo India adds Manoj Pandey as National CD

FCB Neo has appointed Manoj Pandey as its new National Creative Director. Based in Delhi, Pandey brings more than 19 years of experience as a creative leader and writer, having worked with some of the world’s most respected brands and agencies.

Over the years, Pandey has built an eclectic body of work spanning advertising, literature, and the arts. He has held creative roles at leading agencies, crafting campaigns for marquee brands including Nike, Incredible India, Unilever, and Coca-Cola. His work has been showcased on global platforms such as The Guardian, BBC, CNN, World Economic Forum, Design Indaba, and Cannes Lions, and featured in prestigious spaces including Tate Modern, MoMA PS1, and Motherland.

Mayuresh Dubhashi, Chief Creative Officer, FCB Neo, said: “At Neo, we’re focused on creating mutant work—ideas that are adaptive, boundaryless, and born where creativity meets culture and technology. Manoj brings with him a rare versatility, blending storytelling with experimentation and new-age thinking. His energy and perspective will be invaluable as we push the limits of creativity and shape work that not only builds brands but also moves culture forward.”

Pandey said: “Super kicked about my innings at FCB Neo. Especially with Dheeraj, Ashima, and Mayuresh at the helm. There is the best of people, brands, and creativity at Neo, which makes it the right time for me to have joined and to soar with my team, clients, and the organisation.”
