About Harshada Menon

Ideas are everywhere. All one has to do is, find them. This one belief keeps me going everyday. Here are a few more things about me that might interest you. I’ve created iconic campaigns for brands like Unilever, McDonald’s, Star Network, KCL, Fevicol, ICC, Frooti, Oreo, Mahindra, Sundrop. Not only was the work exciting but it was an opportunity to liaise with leaders, decision-makers, teams and partners. I was Ogilvy’s Creative Person of the Year for 2017. I was recognised and chosen by Cannes Lions for a Women Leadership See It Be It in 2018. In 2018, was part of the first jury at the World’s first Advertising awards judged by women Gerety Awards. I believe a creator’s learning never stops. Which is why, I started leaning music at 30. I make sure that I\'m always learning something. Be it from people, programs, stories or my own experiences. I believe becoming a parent adds to one’s creativity. To raise a child, sometimes, you need to think like a child. And, they are the most curious, courageous and imaginative ideators, aren\'t they?5. At work, I help nurture a team, strategise, plan, ideate and build brands. I love doing what I do. Someday, it might change the world for better. That’s the hope!
