Younion Brand Experiences has announced the appointment of Sharat Kuttikat as its chief creative officer for India, ASEAN and ANZ. 

His last full-time stint was with McCann, where he was executive creative director. Post the exit he was serving as an independent creative consultant till he joined Younion.

The agency has built strong partnerships with some of the world's most influential technology brands while simultaneously expanding into exciting new categories. The opportunity to build a unified creative function that serves clients seamlessly across India, ASEAN and ANZ is incredibly exciting, and I look forward to creating work that drives meaningful impact for both brands and businesses."
