Famous In India


Raj Kamble and Anselmo Ramos are considered local celebrities in India. The Mumbai-version of The New York Times has written an extensive article about their creativity, their take on the future of advertising, and their good looks. Raj was the first Indian adman to ever win an One Show Gold Pencil. Now Raj can go be back to his country and become a John Hegarty. And Anselmo can stay where he is and keep working.

One Show "Stella Artois" Gold on Gold


Our Head of Creative, Anselmo Ramos, and his former partner, the Art Director Raj Kamble, wrote a unique "Gold on Gold" piece about their Gold Pencil for Stella Artois "Coupons" campaign. Since they were the only "foreigner creative team" (a Brazilian writer and an Indian Art Director) working at a big New York agency like Lowe/New York, they decided to dedicate their Gold Pencil to all foreigners working abroad. They're even developing a website, twoforeigners.com, "The Official Website of Citizens From The Developing World Working In The Developed World." The goal is to create a place to share stories, cultural differences, tips, dos and donts, immigration laws, and even ways to get a green card. Which comes in handy when you're a multicultural agency like us. The site is still under construction. Meanwhile, you can read the Gold on Gold copy firsthand here. And for those who want to purchase the One Show vol. 28, go to http://www.oneclub.org/oc/store/?p=35. Obrigado and Dhanyavaad!
