Mitesh Addhate : In A Chat With An Advertising Creative

Mitesh Addhate is an international Art Director & Photographer from India.

He believes the secret to everything is in the nature and works to capture those moments that tells lot more than just a story. In his free time, he loves to do reverse advertising, socialize and go for a walk on the streets on New York to re-energize his creative side. 

Why are you into Advertising?
Advertising has always fascinated me with the power that it holds in inspiring the audience in a matter of just 7 seconds. Those 7 seconds could bring a positive change in the society and start a new revolution. The amazing creativity in those ads enticed me to look more into advertising as a career and eventually into art direction and I can proudly say that I have made the right choice. Advertising is all around us and we have been doing it since our birth. From advertising ourselves to our friends, to our parents and to the society we live in. It feels great to create work that could bring a positive change in the society and I have been lucky enough to be able to do such work. The satisfaction of being able to contribute towards making someone smile even in their tough times through our work is what excites me to work in the industry. It makes me love what I do even more after hearing people talk about the work that I was a part of.

Description:
Train journeys are seen as outdated in India and hence, people don’t prefer to travel by them. But, we tend to ignore the fact that trains have been running in India for over 125 years and hence, are full of stories. We thought of bringing those stories to life by converting trains into time machines.

National Trust by Miami Ad School Students

Problem : National Trust needs more of the younger crowd to visit their locations.

Solution : We will need to target these younger audiences through an effective medium.
IDEA : Where do we find most of the people now-a-days ? On their phones or computers, using the internet. That’s why we thought why not make people earn their 
Internet.
