We are ecstatic to have seven new exciting brands to work with.”

 

The agency also announced the elevation of Muddassar Memon from NCD to AVP for creative and social. He will report to Brijesh Munyal, EVP – operations, and will head the functions pan-India.

Memon said, "Social media is gaining momentum and we are proud to be ahead of the curve on this front. We have an extremely proficient social media team that is geared up to plan and execute interesting campaigns on the new accounts with their experience. As we escalate our focus on social media, the move also brings us one step closer to being a one-stop shop, 360-degree digital agency where clients are offered all required digital services under one roof. I am delighted to be leading these efforts, especially in the newly appointed role."
