About Sujoy Roy
Sujoy Roy is what you might call a dyed-in-the-wool Ogilvian. He joined the iconic agency fresh out of college two decades ago, wide-eyed and full of energy, and has never looked back. In his 20-year journey, Sujoy has hopped between three Ogilvy offices – Mumbai, Kolkata and Colombo, Sri Lanka – making each stop a showcase for his creativity.
Technically, Sujoy’s title has always been ‘Copywriter’, but pigeonholing him into that one discipline wouldn’t be accurate. Armed with a diploma in fine arts, Sujoy has effortlessly straddled the worlds of art and copy. Seven years ago, he parlayed that dual expertise into establishing the Ogilvy Design Cell, which he now leads across Ogilvy India.
Over the years, Sujoy has amassed a collection of awards. His campaigns have dazzled at Cannes, Clio, One Show, the London International Festival, Ad Fest Asia Pacific, Young Guns and just about every Indian advertising award show worth attending. But Sujoy isn’t just about collecting trophies; he’s about creating work that sticks. From Coca-Cola and Nestlé to Unilever, Marico, ITC, Asian Paints, Zandu, M P Birla, Pantaloons and Eveready, he’s lent his creative streak to some of the biggest brands in the business.
In addition to his national contributions, Sujoy has played a pivotal role in building Ogilvy East. Working in his mother tongue, Bengali, he’s crafted campaigns that resonate deeply, proving that great advertising transcends geography and language. His work in the East is as memorable as it is enviable—a testament to his knack for tapping into cultural insights.
Sharp, innovative, and endlessly curious, Sujoy is a creative person who sees the whole picture—literally and figuratively. Whether it’s a smart headline, a design that solves a problem for a brand, or an idea so big it scares the brief, Sujoy continues to push the boundaries of creativity, one big idea at a time.
