About
Hello!
I am Shashikant Zagade, having 23+ years of experience as an Art Director in the field of Advertising and Marketing. Advertising is ever-changing field and I have cultivated myself to always flow with the current market scenario. When Print advertising was the king, I had worked extensively with main stream advertising agencies like Leo Burnett and J. Walter Thompson as mentioned in details in my resume. But with the turn of millennium the ad scenario changed. Social Media advertising and web related communications have now become very essential and I have diversified myself into this latest trend.
I am a team player. I can execute the entire assignment from idea stage to final execution.
