About me
Hi,
This is Sham here and I'm from India. The last job I held was that of Executive Creative Director (South), Grey Worldwide. That means I was in charge of the cities of Bangalore and Chennai in India. My primary role was to manage the creative teams in both the cities and give concepts and direction to the different marketing challenges that our clients had. My functions included project management, time management, and people management. My other role was to sit with account planning and account management and discuss and arrive upon different communication strategies for our client's marketing challenges. I used to manage a total of around 20 people between both cities.
And the flip side of my profile was to meet with our clients along with the account management team to take briefs and explain and present our creatives. Creatives included TVCs, print, packaging, below-the-line campaigns and digital.
From advertising, I've moved into design and started my company called State Of Unrest. Here we do branding design, website design, packaging design and even designed a helmet for one of our clients. The difference between now and then is that now I'm hands-on with the strategy part of the client's communication problems and we try to find solutions that can tackle those problems from a pure design perspective.
Looking forward to connecting with you.
