Answer:
It depends on what you're looking to do within advertising and your future. If all you want to do is create things in the art department, then it's likely that the return you'd get on an MBA in that field won't be worth the investment. However, if you plan to move around and get more into the marketing side than the artistic side (managing client accounts or PR, that sort of thing), then I think an MBA would give you a great advantage. And then, looking even further ahead, if you plan to market your art and/or marketing skills later on, maybe as you start up your own business in that field, an MBA would DEFINITELY come in handy as an entrepreneur.

You are doing commercial arts. Would be working in the art department. You can pursue the MBA and it will be useful when you want to have your own set-up later. The advertising business is such - most of the business is based on connections, interpersonal relations and high profile PR activity. But still I advice you : 1. The art department is the heart of advertising - apart from marketing/ servicing. 2. While working there you will learn that - "Marketing and Management: what we read or heard are no way connected to any Ad agency, 3. But you will know the ropes and tricks which are not usually available or written in any book outside. 4. I suggest you work there and either working in the same co., or moving out to another co., try to handle Art Department or become Art Director and then you will get to know many clients directly. 5. Alternatively - if you have the personality and pushing attitude and no question of any lack of self confidence and ready to take risks - but should have passion in advertising and marketing - then try for a marketing position there or look for a small company where you can act both designer as well as account manager. 6. MBA gives you just silver lining to your personality provided you have real passion and personality and good communication skills. 7. I suggest you go for MBA is PR which will take you to places. a good degree or diploma from a reputed institute where you get good connection also.
