Harsh Kapadia

From a childhood fascination with commercials to a globe-spanning career, Harsh Kapadia’s journey in advertising has been nothing short of exciting. Harsh channels over 20 years of experience into creating meaningful campaigns that inspire and innovate.

According to his folks, mealtime, playtime or just about any time came to a standstill when the commercial breaks came on. He was transfixed. And has been since. This early passion fueled a career that has taken him across four continents—India, Australia, the United Kingdom, and North America—where he has collaborated with some of the world’s top agencies to craft campaigns for iconic brands like the United States Postal Service, Reckitt, Motorola, Google, Lego, New Balance, Diageo, and Ford.

Harsh and his teams’ creative excellence has been celebrated worldwide, with accolades from prestigious advertising shows, including Cannes Lions, D&AD, One Show, Clios, and Spikes Asia. His leadership has earned personal recognition from Former First Lady Michelle Obama and invitations to judge esteemed award shows like Cannes Lions, D&AD, ADC, and the New York Festival. Served as Jury President for D&AD Impact and a member of its Impact Council, Harsh continues to shape the industry’s creative landscape. Business Insider has recognized him as a rising star of Madison Avenue for his transformative influence, and his thought leadership is frequently sought at global events.

Central to Harsh’s approach is his philosophy of "Cultural MacGyverism," a belief in harnessing the power of diverse cultural insights and boundless curiosity to drive groundbreaking ideas. By seamlessly blending creativity and technology, he demonstrates that bold ideas can transcend traditional advertising and grow business.
