With 9 years of experience in the advertising industry, I have developed a strong passion for transforming products into powerful brands. I'm a firm believer of treating a brand as my own as it helps me have a better perspective. Also, I'm told to have an eye to address the elephant in the room and often have a perspective that most people don't. Another personal mandate to me is driving my relationships, internal or external, and keeping them the healthiest because the larger your team, the more noise you can create in the brand world. This IQ-EQ magnetism attracts likeminded people towards me which has always resulted in great work. I have a certain dynamism towards the work I churn out and don't let the work stop at sunset – simply because we think of the best ideas, only to change them at last minute with the finest ones. It's immensely satisfying to always be in the middle of the battlefield and take charge. It not only has always paid off in my brands' growth but has also lead to an expeditious one for me. Handling major campaigns of MSIL | Kia | Google | Pernod Ricard | Nestle and picked to help in the strategy development of these brands are the major highlights of my entire career.

The experience at Lowe has been rather wholesome. The horizon was always wider than operations & executions across mediums. A diverse mix of brands had me absolutely consumed with understanding of different categories and markets, deep diving into data and strategy management - under the most amazing leadership. The key intent built in was to think beyond just a campaign & treating the brand as a personal affair.
