Vasanth Seshadri is the Founder, head honcho and Creative Director of the ad agency in Singapore called The Sunny Side. Vasanth shares his non-traditional path into the ad world, starting out as an engineer before catching the creative bug. We talked about his globetrotting career that took him from Singapore to New York and back again. Click here to see some of the cool work The Sunny Side has been cooking up lately.
I find it fascinating to hear Vasanth’s perspective on building an agency internationally. We also dug into the differences between the ad scenes in Singapore, Asia, and good ol’ NYC. This was an insightful convo that gives a glimpse inside the mind of an entrepreneur pushing the boundaries of creativity in the industry. Thank you Vasanth.
Here’s the Lbb Director’s Playbook article sharing my pitch secrets.

Our 3rd annual Filmmaker Retreat Joshua Tree is Thursday, September 26th – Sunday, September 29th, 2024.

Both professionally and personally. Reserve your spot before the end of the year to take advantage of that last minute 2023 write-off. Limit 20 Filmmakers.
