Nitin Mantri, CEO, Avian Media, said, “Brands in India are increasingly looking for agencies that can understand the role of communications within a broad stakeholder environment. By uniting our functions under single regional heads we’re bringing together the best mix of expertise and experience to bear on client challenges in an integrated way, beyond the silos of practices and functions. This new re-alignment will help us not only focus better to run the business and also integrate teams better within and across offices.”
