Dentsu elevates Nitin Suri and Harish Arora to national creative directors

Dentsu India has begun the new year with two internal promotions. The agency has elevated Nitin Suri and Harish Arora to national creative directors.

Suri replaces Adrian Mendonza who had moved out of the agency in mid-2010 while Arora has been appointed the national creative director, Dentsu Corporate with additional responsibilities covering Dentsu MediaTech.

Both Suri and Arora will report to Gullu Sen, executive vice chairman and chief creative officer, Dentsu India and will continue to be based in Delhi.

''It is great to have stalwarts like Suri and Arora on our team. They bring a sense of dependability and maturity to client relationships. Their promotions and enhanced responsibilities are just our way of saying they are valued and trusted,'' said Sen in a statement.

Suri and Arora are both part of the founding team at Dentsu India, and have been with the agency since its inception, seven years ago. Suri, however had left the agency for a brief stint with Bates 141 before returning to the Dentsu fold last year.
