Prasanna Sankhe bids adieu to Publicis Ambience

Prasanna Sankhe, national creative director, Publicis Ambience, has put in his papers.

Sankhe, who has had two stints with the agency, had first joined the Publicis in 2000 before moving to Alok Nanda and Company (ANC) in 2003, where he spent three years. He then rejoined Publicis as senior creative director and was elevated to the post of national creative director along with Ashish Khazanchi, when the agency moved to a dual-NCD structure in 2007.

He had developed the recent campaigns for RBI and Park Avenue deodorants at Publicis Ambience. 

''While creating the campaigns for Citibank, Himani Fast Relief, RBI, and Park Avenue Deodorants, it gives me great satisfaction that we have managed to be in the top three agencies two years in a row at the GoaFest, including a Cannes Gold this year,'' Sankhe said.

Speaking about his future plans, Sankhe said, ''I am seeking out bigger challenges.'' He added that he was currently evaluating options in advertising, design and brand management verticals. 

The agency had seen chairman Aniruddha Banerjee bowing out recently in November. (See: Aniruddha Banerjee bids adieu as chairman of Publicis Ambience)
