M&C Saatchi Indonesia Elevates Dami Sidharta to Chief Creative Officer

M&C Saatchi Indonesia has elevated Dami Sidharta to the role of chief creative officer. The former executive creative director co-founded the agency together with president director, Anish Daryani in January 2018. 

The promotion comes after three successful years at the agency where it won a string of award wins including Gold for Creative Agency of the Year 2020, as well as Gold and Best-in-Show at the Mobile Marketing Association's Smarties Awards in 2020. The agency has also ranked among the top five creative agencies in Indonesia at the Cita Pariwara Awards 2020, Indonesia’s premier Creative Awards Show and ranked 2nd in the R3 New Business League for Indonesia, in 2019 and 2020.

Said Anish: "M&C Saatchi Indonesia was among the few to have reported a stupendous growth last year, despite the pandemic and Dami played an instrumental role in bringing brand storytelling to life. He has been an ace performer since we launched the agency and has helped attract and inspire some of the best creatives in the industry. We owe him credit for contributing to our growth in every way. It’s time to reward him, and also make room for more senior creative promotions within the agency, besides giving him room to hire more ECDs under his wing. These steps are in line with the agency’s growth plans.”

Stated Dami: "Growth has always been one of our top priorities since the very beginning. That applies to our clients, our agency, as well as our people. M&C Saatchi Indonesia has grown tremendously since its inception three years ago, and I feel that I have grown along with it. It’s reassuring to know that the network also feels the same. Moving forward, we will keep developing our people. Promoting from within and growing our own leaders, our own CDs and ECDs as much as we can."

Dami's appointment is effective immediately.
