Shish brings extensive experience across both the agency and technology world to Ogilvy’s clients and creative craft

Ogilvy UK has announced Shishir (Shish) Patel as the latest executive creative director to join the agency. Shish will be working primarily on the British Airways account, while collaborating with the creative leadership to continue to push the boundaries of the creative offering. He joins over 100 creatives, reporting directly to chief ECD Jules Chalkley.

In his new role, Shish will be focusing on continuing to deliver impactful work for British Airways, while bringing his expertise from both the advertising industry and the technology industry together to open new possibilities for creatives to flourish in the agency. 

Dede Laurentino, chief creative officer, Ogilvy UK: “I’m very excited to have Shish on board as an ECD. His experience across both the agency landscape and within a big technology company means he can bring exciting thinking borne from both these experiences to the team. I look forward to seeing the impact he has on our work and the creative team to continue the elevation and ingenuity of our ideas.”

Shish has over 18 years of experience from the industry which he brings to Ogilvy, along with a creative and innovative approach to producing memorable campaigns across mediums. His career has spanned agencies including DDB London, Fallon, Wieden + Kennedy and BBH London. During his career, he has worked on clients including Cadbury, Tesco, Audi, Weetabix, Vespa and British Airways.

Jules Chalkley, chief ECD, Ogilvy UK says: “Shish represents the new archetype of creative we’re looking to work with at Sea Containers. He is the embodiment of creative excellence coupled with a rich and creatively varied background with which to bring new skills and knowledge to our clients.”

Most recently, he was at both Facebook’s Creative Shop and Studio. At the Creative Shop, he worked in partnership with brands and agencies looking to create advertising tailored to the platform, while at the Studio he was involved in the global “Here Together” campaign, tackling issues around privacy, fake news and rebuilding trust. 

Shish says: “For me, the job has always been about two things: people and possibilities. Ogilvy’s new set up really appealed to me. There’s an exciting potential in diverse talent and disciplines in the building working more closely together. That energy combined with working on a great brand like British Airways – I can’t wait to get started!”
