Yohan&Sapna
Yohan and Sapna met at BBH India in 2016 and have been creative partners ever since. Back then, Yohan was one of India’s youngest Creative Directors, and Sapna was already one of the country’s most awarded young female creatives after a successful stint in Singapore. Together, they led BBH India’s largest creative group, winning pitches, awards, and opportunities to work across the BBH network—from Axe in London to Nike in Singapore, along with several global pitch wins.
Since then, they’ve taken the long way around the world. In 2019, they moved to BBH Los Angeles as Associate Creative Directors and, just four months later, won the Mattel business and were promoted back to Creative Directors. In 2022, they moved to BBH New York, where they led work for Google, Heineken, PayPal, and Netflix, winning awards, pitches, and projects along the way. Today, as Executive Creative Directors at BBH, they create award-winning work across iconic brands including Dunkin’, Jif, Folgers, Uncrustables, Meow Mix, and Milk-Bone.
When they’re not making ads, they’re usually arguing with each other. Then they make up over a good meal. Most of their best ideas start somewhere in between.
