Janath Gamage
Creative Director
Ogilvy Singapore & WPP - Unilever
Singapore
His name’s Janath Gamage. Around advertising, he’s just Jay -a Sri Lankan creative on an adventure. He gets paid monthly to be a Creative Director at Ogilvy Singapore & WPP-Unilever (allegedly). He says he’s worked at other offices like Leo Burnett and Publicis before that too.
He’s made paint from flowers, created an AI that helped women in India, etched out snake-skin patterns scale by scale, and conjured up dragons, tigers, and rabbits out of spirits. He’s also picked up pencils, cubes, angels, lotuses, diamonds, stars and many other precious metal along the way.
On a personal note, his love for Bayern Munich has cost him a tattoo and greying hair - he says it’s the price of loyalty, but it might be the 3 AM matches. Thanks to this, he looks much, much older than his age. Unlike his age though, his jokes are so far ahead of their time, they’re still waiting for us in the future.
