I have over 14 years of experience in Branding, Strategic Marketing, Media and Communications. My proficiency spans the entire spectrum of understanding a brand and its business development, with a core focus on effective communication. My marketing experience covers traditional, digital, and social marketing, allowing me to navigate diverse marketing landscapes effectively.

I've excelled in crafting compelling brand narratives, optimizing lead-generation funnels, and orchestrating seamless customer engagements. Notably, my recent role saw a 46% growth in app installs and a 36% surge in social reach within just six months. Moreover, my expertise in optimizing marketing spends led to a substantial 15-20% reduction in media costs through strategic direct deals. My approach is rooted in a holistic understanding of the brand-consumer relationship. This entails delivering the right brand message at the right time, ensuring an optimal experience that fosters retention and loyalty. This comprehensive strategy has consistently delivered exceptional results for me, evident in my track record of 13-17% YoY growth in brand awareness and leads over the past five years.

To add some information, I've also participated in multiple event IPs, ranging from media, lifestyle and gaming to government and celebrity engagements. I am enthusiastic about the prospect of leveraging my end-to-end expertise to amplify the impact of your brand.
