Born in India and raised by fish, Dave Barry and advertising, Raj doodles his time away as a copywriter by the window of OgilvyOne’s Hong Kong office. When not posing for the camera, he’s also been known to smile.
Why are you in Advertising?
Figured that it was the only profession where I could pour myself a drink in the morning and explain it away to my wife as ‘work’.
Did you always want to get into advertising?

Sachin Ambekar has more years in advertising than hair on his head. Fifteen more, to be precise. Currently creative director at BBDO Malaysia, Sachin started his career in Mumbai back when it was still called Bombay. A few years and several awards later, he moved to Singapore and since then, has worked with some of the top agencies in Asia Pacific.
He has successfully handled multi-million dollar projects on brands like HotLink, M1, McDonald’s, Michelin, Manhattan Credit Card, Tiger Beer and Fevicol. But he’s as proud of the projects he has done on a shoestring budget for Murgi Brand Brooms,Chambal Hair Oil, and a Kim Swee Bakery. This might explain why he was ranked among Campaign Brief Asia’s Top 50 regional creative in the years 2001 to 2004.
His work has regularly been featured in the Lurzer’s Archive, Shots, Campaign Screen, Campaign Brief Asia, ADOI. His work has made its way to 7+ rank four times in the Leo Burnett network. He created India’s first ever, international campaign for Italian brand Perfetti, that was created and released only in Europe and the US. He was ranked best of O&M India in 2002/3. He has also been Course Co-ordinator for the Australian AWARD School, Singapore.
In his spare time, Sachin likes to paint, and his work has made its way to art exhibitions in India. He played volleyball. He dabbles in photography and hopes some other creative director might someday give him a project to handle independently. And when he’s not doing any of the above, he writes scripts for movies and documentaries. With so many things to juggle together, it is little wonder that he has little, sorry no hair left.
