Resumé

Working for 16 years as a creative mentor and creative director (copy) in IT majors and leading advertising agencies has given me the experience and the skills to consistently deliver high quality creative, communication and marketing solutions. I bring to the table a sharp eye for detail and strong creative, strategic and brand building capabilities.
I have extensive experience across mediums, be it press, television, radio, the Internet, social media, outdoor, ambient or direct marketing, and have also won several international and national awards for my creative work. Being an artist with several exhibitions in India and abroad, I also have a very good grasp and understanding of the visual aspect of communication.
I feel that my passion for seeking out the most powerful creative answers, my basic inquisitive-creative nature and my diverse work experience, will help me to deliver real value to your organisation - in creative terms and to achieve overall strategic marketing goals.
