Vineet Mahajan to head art at Contract Advertising

Contract Advertising has brought on board Vineet Mahajan as the agency's head of art in India. Mahajan joins Contract from McCann Erickson’s Delhi office. This will be his second stint at Contract.

Rana Barua, COO, Contract Advertising, said, “Contract prides itself in offering the best talent available in the country to its clients. Vineet’s coming on board is yet another step in that direction as his impeccable credentials and skill sets will bring in a huge value add to our clients.”

Mahajan had worked with Contract for three years earlier. In a career spanning 15 years, he has also worked with Ogilvy & Mather.

Ashish Chakravarty, NCD, Contract Advertising, said, "Well, frankly Vineet Mahajan needs no introduction, so let me just say that I am absolutely thrilled to have him on board. He will be based out of Mumbai, but will work closely with me on all key brands across all offices. There is much value he brings to the table in terms of art and aesthetics, and I feel all our clients should benefit from this. Plus he has such a colorful presence, it should certainly liven things up at Contract."

On his return to Contract, Mahajan said, “Contract holds a special place for me and the new role will be far more challenging with lots of new opportunities. New city, new role, new place should be exciting.”
