It’s a place that values creativity as much as collaboration, and I’m eager to build the future alongside this incredible team.”

With an impressive track record, Tripathi has crafted campaigns for global brands like MasterCard, Nescafé Gold, Coca-Cola, PhonePe, and Asian Paints.

Welcoming him to the team, Neville Shah, CCO of FCB Kinnect, said, “Abhinav brings a wealth of experience, ambition, and vision. As we continue to push creative boundaries, I couldn’t think of a better person to join us on this journey.”

His vision aligns seamlessly with our forward-thinking approach, and we’re excited to have him as we redefine the creative landscape.”

Tripathi’s portfolio features standout work, including the XR-enabled Mohey Print Ad, the data-driven Nescafé Gold film, MasterCard’s #HarFanHaiPriceless IPL campaign, and American Tourister’s #SwagPack. His appointment signals FCB Kinnect’s commitment to innovation and bold storytelling in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
