In this newly created role, he will champion Golin’s data-driven, earned-first creative ideas to inspire and create change for clients across the region.
Based in Singapore, Mukherjee reports to Darren Burns, President, Asia Pacific. In addition to his chief creative officer role, Mukherjee will continue to lead the Data, Analytics, and Content team in Singapore.
“Shouvik has been an integral part of the Golin team for over a decade, leading multiple award-winning campaigns,” said Burns. “He will bring unparalleled energy and passion to drive growth by focusing on regional collaboration and earned-first creative ideas.”

It delivers business results, as well as inspires awe, breaks stereotypes, and basically blows the mind. I’m excited to expand this incredible team so we can service more clients across the region with bold ideas.”
Mukherjee’s first charge will be to shape and grow a world-class creative team across the agency’s markets in Asia Pacific to deliver ideas that earn attention, build businesses and deliver exceptional client results.
