Honda – Ridgeline Launch
This truck is not only tough, it’s smart. It features an innovative tailgate and an electrical socket in the bed. We created a whimsical way to show off all the ways this new Honda Truck outperforms.

Pepsi – Super Bowl Social
Pepsi has been sponsoring the Superbowl halftime show forever, yet received little credit. This year, they asked us to change that. We mixed obsessive Katy Perry fandom with obsessive football fanaticism to make a pop-culture baby everyone could love.

MINI – Roof Studio
The roof of a MINI isn’t just a roof. It’s a blank canvas. A clean slate to be made your own. Personalization is a huge part of MINI culture, so the goal of the roofstudio banners was to create tools where MINI enthusiasts could both create and show off their roof designs.

Counterfeit Mini
In a pro-active measure against iconic brand counterfeiting, we established the Counter Counterfeit Commission (CCC).

Miller Man Law
The laws laid down by the Men of the Square Table are inviolable—but they’re nowhere near complete. That’s where you come in.

GAP - Watch Me Change
We launched GAP’s watchmechange.com as part of an integrated plan to communicate the transformation of Gap stores in key markets to a completely new look and feel. Each medium in the plan played a different role–some more rational than others.

Aereo
Aereo set out give America a modern choice with television. The product, packaging, advertising and experience needed to come a long way to get there. We built a lean ad team, got the marketing nailed, kicked off production on the first big campaign, grew subs 40%. The Supreme Court case brought it to a halt.

Honda – Civic Launch
We learned in testing that people thought the Civic had lost it’s edge, but they were willing to buy the new 2016 redesign just after seeing the outside design. So we created a whole world to show it off in beautiful 3D.

Testimonials
While @ W+K, in the heat of a global pitch, I had the opportunity to work with Rahul. He parachuted out of the clouds with a notebook and pens in twin shoulder holsters (it's still unclear to me how he got through customs), picked up in the middle of a complex process and contributed from the moment he entered the room. His intuitive sense of interface, his creative problem solving and good taste (no, seriously) stood us in good stead. He was a bucket of irrepressible energy and good humor, and that's something when you are jetlagged and thrown into the fire like he was. He's an entrepreneur disguised as a creative disguised as a madman, and you want his thinking on your next project.
Renny Gleeson
Global Director, Interactive Strategy, Wieden+Kennedy
Rahul is a force of nature. He turns every assignment into a game he invites his teams to play, sharing his endless supply of optimism and positive energy. I always feel that LinkedIn recommendations read the same, but I truly want to endorse Rahul as very singular creative and inspiring individual.
Edu Pou
Chief Creative Officer, The Barbarian Group
Rahul not only comes up with big ideas and then brings them to life in irresistible ways, but he gets people (colleagues and clients) behind the work with a strong mix of passion and persuasion. We had a great run while Rahul was with us.
Tarik Sedky
Chief Digital Officer, Young & Rubicam
I've worked with Rahul at two different agencies and one thing I've learned is that he executes at the speed of light. There is no one I know that can come up with incredible ideas and bring them to life as quickly as him. He is a rare diamond in the industry and proves this with the work he's done.
