Mohan Menon retires from O&M
Chennai: Mohan Menon, Ogilvy's Director (South), has retired from advertising after a career spanning 32 years at the agency. O&M was Menon's first and only job in his career.

Menon, says a release from Ogilvy, was hired as a cub copywriter at Ogilvy in Mumbai by Ranjan Kapur and went on to become the Creative Director of the Chennai and Bangalore offices. Menon was also closely involved with Ogilvy's Sri Lankan operations during the pre- and post-acquisition phase. He is a graduate of senior management programmes in Toronto and New York and was one-time visiting faculty at IIM, Ahmedabad.

Menon, the release said, drew a lot of inspiration from the legendary David Ogilvy with whom he had spent time over the years. Mohan and his wife Minnie, had occasion to be invited to Touffou in France as David Ogilvy's houseguests.
