I’m Kushal.
I moved to Canada in 2023 to work with Courage in Toronto. Prior to making the move, I spent 6 years in India working at some of the country’s top shops like Talented, Leo Burnett, FCB and Dentsu on marquee clients like Google, YouTube and Vice Media, to name a few.
My work has been awarded at every major international show, including Cannes, One Show, D&AD, Webby’s and the One Show. It has also been featured in multiple mainstream outlets like the BBC, the Guardian, and Hyperallergic.
I was ranked the #1 Creative Director on the Cannes Creativity Report in 2022, and was part of the team that helped lead Dentsu to become the #1 agency in Asia at Cannes (Top 3 in the world) that same year. My work also helped Vice News become one of the top 3 brands at Cannes, beating the likes of Apple and Burger King.
As an immigrant to Canada, I’m committed to finding success in a new country, and proving to the industry that newcomers can make it here - even without prior ‘Canadian experience.’
