As part of the Omnicom–IPG merger and network restructuring, Dheeraj Sinha has been appointed CEO of McCann Worldgroup India, transitioning from his role as CEO of FCB Global Group India. The move consolidates leadership talent, strengthens McCann’s India focus, and ensures continuity amid one of the fastest creative-network shakeups in recent times.
Leadership Built on Experience and Scale
Sinha brings decades of experience across India’s top creative networks, including leadership roles at:
- Leo Burnett
- BBH India

He has a track record of driving major account wins and scaling teams across integrated marketing, digital, and brand campaigns. His appointment positions McCann to capitalize on Omnicom’s expanded India network and compete effectively in a highly fragmented market.
Strategic Implications for McCann India

- Reinforces McCann’s India-centric growth strategy within the merged Omnicom–IPG ecosystem.

Dheeraj Sinha’s elevation is more than a title change.
It reflects a strategic intent to stabilize and scale McCann India amid a sweeping industry realignment. With a proven leadership record, Sinha is tasked with strengthening client relationships, nurturing creative excellence, and executing integrated campaigns across one of the most competitive advertising markets globally.
