Campaign’s Creative Faces to Watch 2024 – Nayan Ganegoda, Art Director, Almost Impossible Agency

Age: 29

Nominated by Amit Kapoor, Head of Creative:
Nayan joined us two years ago and has made a remarkable difference to our agency. His love for big ideas, advertising craft and condensed fonts is easily recognisable. One of the joys of working with him is his ability to find newer ways of tackling similar briefs. Plus, he’s an excellent photographer. A well-rounded creative really.

 

Career highlights

Two years back, I took a wild ride to Dubai, landing a gig as an Art Director at Almost Impossible Agency. It’s been a rollercoaster of thrills, teaming up with the coolest crew in town. And honing my craft. Bagging the Cannes Young Lions Gold UAE in 2024 with my partner in crime, Braeden, stands out as a high point. Before all this glitz, I learned and grew in the aisles and hallways of Dentsu, Mullen Lowe, and Publicis Groupe. Here’s to bigger adventures, accolades, and shiny metals with my tribe.

 

Guiding principles

Listening and learning from people. Everyone has a story. Some of the other things I’ve learned along the way is the amount of sacrifices you must make for your craft. And not fear failure, enjoy what comes your way.

 

Side hustle

Reefs. Not the kind you’re thinking of. I’m a massive marine life enthusiast. For over 5 years now I have been propagating corals as a hobby, hoping to make a change soon. Another side hustle is photography – fashion & street photography.
