Wondrlab Network has announced the appointment of Ishaan Balvani as creative lead – digital. Balvani will spearhead digital-first creative thinking across the network, strengthening Wondrlab’s focus on culture-led full-funnel storytelling, brand relevance, and integrated digital solutions.
He will report to Hemant Shringy, chief creative officer and managing partner, Wondrlab Network.
Before joining Wondrlab, Balvani was with FCB Kinnect, where he served as group creative director. During his tenure, he played a key role in building impactful digital narratives, leading integrated campaigns for marquee brands, and mentoring creative teams across platforms. Some of the campaigns and brands he worked on include HDFC Bank’s ‘Vigil Aunty – End of Scam Sale’, which won at Kyoorius, secured a Grand Prix at The One Show, and earned a Cannes Lions award.
He also played a pivotal role in TATA.ev, contributing to the launch of multiple vehicles and campaigns such as ‘Perfect Roads’ for Harrier.ev, along with award-winning work including recognition at Kyoorius and The One Show for the #PerryPowerfulPunch campaign, a viral moment marketing initiative in March 2024.
Commenting on the appointment, Shringy said, “Ishaan brings a rare combination of creative depth and digital instinct. His ability to think in platforms, culture, and ideas makes him a strong addition to our creative leadership. As brands navigate an increasingly complex digital ecosystem, Ishaan’s leadership will help us deliver sharper, more meaningful work.”
Balvani said he was attracted to Wondrlab’s integrated and platform-first approach. “It’s a network that’s building for where brands and culture are headed, not where they’ve been. I’m excited to collaborate with teams across the network to create digital work that is relevant, impactful, and truly connected to people.”
Earlier this week, Wondrlab also appointed Shidush Contractor as chief operating officer – influencer marketing to lead OPA and Opportune, strategy, operations and growth across Wondrlab’s influencer and creator ecosystem.
