About me

Denesh is a Creative Director in the advertising industry. He started his career as an artist, exhibiting work in Mayfair, The Truman Brewery and The South London Gallery. His creativity landed him a project with Wieden+Kennedy London, where he worked on the legendary campaign, Nike Scorpion Football. This kicked his career off in the ad world.

He looks at everything sideways. He’s an artist, an inventor and explorer, both in the physical world and mental. His biggest inspiration was his late father, a photographer who came to England with 59p, and few years later opened the first art studio in Southall, West London.

An obsession with the image, pushing the craft and seeing the potential of what’s possible is what really excites Denesh. Always looking at fresh and innovative ways to bring ideas to life in the real world.

He has 20 years experience that has formed a fully integrated approach as a creative and art director. And he is behind award-winning campaigns for brands including ASICS, Baileys, Samsung, Durex, Nike, Department For Transport and Cadbury. To name a few.

He forms part of a creative duo with Anuj Shah. Together they’ve held seats at some of the greatest ad agencies around, including BBH, VML and Wieden+Kennedy. Their career has taken them around the world, working on projects in Amsterdam, Sweden, Romania, U.S. and also a year at Wieden+Kennedy India where they helped the agency grow the business.

He's always on a mission to create more great work that earns the right attention, evokes culture, solves business problems and makes the world take notice.
