Chief Creative Officer, India & Middle East — Havas Health 

João Camacho is Chief Creative Officer for India and the Middle East at Havas Health, where he leads creative transformation across one of the world’s fastest-growing healthcare regions. With over 20 years of global experience, he is known for turning complex science into ideas people understand — and more importantly, act on. 

João has partnered with leading pharmaceutical and health organizations to launch treatments, build disease-awareness platforms, and create patient-first communications that deliver measurable impact beyond the industry echo chamber. 

His work has earned recognition at major international festivals, and he is a frequent juror for global awards — reflecting his belief that creativity in healthcare should be held to the same standard as any category: brave, culturally relevant, and impossible to ignore. 
He often says the best health advertising doesn’t feel like advertising at all — it feels like progress.
