Azazul Haque, who recently quit Media.Monks as the Chief Content Officer, has now joined Creativeland Asia as its new Group Chief Creative Officer.
Haque was associated with Media.Monks for two years. He put down his papers in April and continued to work until May.
Prior to joining Media.Monks as its Chief Content Officer in April 2022, Haque served the role of Chief Creative Officer at Mullen Lintas from April 2019 to March 2022.
Before that, he was associated with Ogilvy for six years. He joined them as Group Creative Director in April 2013 and was elevated to the role of Executive Creative Director in September 2016. A year later, he was promoted to the role of Chief Creative Officer at the agency in September 2017.
From June 2011 to March 2013, he served the role of Senior Creative Director and VP at Contract Advertising and Creative Director at McCann from May 2010 to May 2011.
In a comparatively short stint, he also worked as Rediffusion Y&R’s Creative Director from November 2009 to April 2010.
He started his career with Mudra Communications in May 2008 by assuming the role of Creative Director at the agency.
Commenting on his new appointment at Creativeland Asia, Haque said, “Creativeland Asia sits at a unique intersection of content, technology, media, and brands and is breaking boundaries, which is incredibly exciting. CLA is rapidly evolving from an agency into a global powerhouse. I am thrilled to join and contribute to this transformative journey. It is one of the few Indian creative brands that has not only endured but also aspires to achieve global ambitions.”
“What we see is just the tip of the iceberg. I am amazed by the depth and scope of the quiet work CLA is doing to build an Indian network with global capabilities. Being part of this journey—transforming an Indian agency into a worldwide network—is truly enriching, and no other agency offers such an experience,” he added.
Expressing his views on the development, Sajan Raj Kurup, Founder and Chairman, Creativeland Worldwide, mentioned “We are thrilled to welcome Azaz to our team. Over the last few years, at Creativeland Asia, we have been working on our next chapter that’s focused on building a robust global creative infrastructure for the future of brands and entertainment.”

His approach aligns perfectly with our ethos and culture. We eagerly look forward to this exciting and ambitious new chapter together,” he added.
