FCB Kinnect has announced the appointment of Abhinav Tripathi as national creative director. Tripathi moves from McCann Worldgroup, where he was creative head - digital, and content studio.

Neville Shah, CCO, FCB Kinnect said, “I’m so excited to have Abhinav come on board. In the direction we are heading, we couldn’t find a better person. He brings with him experience, intent, desire and vision. We can’t wait to get started.”

Rohan Mehta, CEO, FCB Kinnect, added, “Abhinav is more than just a decorated creative - he’s a storyteller at heart, a problem-solver by instinct, and a leader who knows how to balance bold ideas with empathy. His vision aligns perfectly with FCB Kinnect’s future-forward approach. We’re excited to have him on board as we continue to push creative boundaries and redefine what’s possible.”

Tripathi said, “FCB Kinnect is a young, driven, future-facing agency. In all my conversations with Rohan, Chandni, and Neville, I really vibed with their intent. It felt like a place that valued culture as much as it did the work. So I'm really excited to start building the future with everyone here.”

Tripathi returned to McCann for his second stint in 2017. He has also worked with TBWA\ and FCB Ulka.
