    In 2014, Cannes Lions launched ‘See It Be It’. A programme that responded to the gender imbalance in the advertising industry – only 25 per cent of agency creatives are women, and just 11 per cent reach creative director level. The stats for India, being woefully lower.

     

    Every year, 15 future leaders from all over the world are chosen to be part of this programme. And this year, Sakshi Choudhary from OgilvyOne, Mumbai has made it as India’s sole representative.

     

    Following a series of written submissions and a rigorous interview, Choudhary secured her place from among hundreds of entrants across the globe. Said Vikram Menon, President OgilvyOne Worldwide: “This is truly wonderful news. It is a proud moment for all of us at Ogilvy. Sakshi has been a stand-out performer ever since she became part of the Ogilvy family and this is just reward for years of commitment to her craft. Hopefully, this inspires many more women to push for leadership positions in the coming years.”

     

    Choudhary is currently Creative Supervisor at OgilvyOne Mumbai where she manages some of the agency’s brands including Dove and Coca-Cola. Outside her day job, Sakshi is the founder of The Seesaw Project – an initiative that seeks to simplify the complex issues of gender bias, using art.

    OgilvyOne Worldwide’s Mumbai has announced Namrata Keswani as Vice President & Head of Office.

     

    This is a home-coming of sorts for Namrata, who began her journey with Ogilvy & Mather Mumbai, in 2003 where she proceeded to handle some of the agency’s most prestigious businesses. Among them were Asian Paints, Mattel, Unilever, Google, Cadbury, Taj Hotels and TBZ. She also spent a year and a half at Ogilvy Singapore where she managed the GlaxoSmithKline, American Express and Kimberly Clark businesses.

     

    Her inherent leaning towards fashion and style, led her to the role of a Fashion Stylist at NBC in 2005 and more recently, at Condé Nast India where she led the Condé Nast factory – a content vertical for the publishing group.

     

    Welcoming Namrata to her new role, Vikram Menon, President, OgilvyOne Worldwide, India: OgilvyOne has been India’s No. 1 Digital Agency for many years. Our flagship Mumbai office was recently ranked among the World’s 10 Best Digital Agencies. And to have Namrata now at the helm is truly exciting. Her varied experience across markets, brands and new media will be ideal, as OgilvyOne, Mumbai looks to set new benchmarks across the board.

     

    Namrata Keswani: OgilvyOne Mumbai has grown and transformed rapidly over the last few years into a leading digital agency. It’s a fantastic opportunity to be at its helm and chart its next chapter of growth. I hope to nurture a nimble, learning agency culture and ensure our clients see us as their partner of choice in this exciting, challenging environment where the digital landscape and consumer are evolving so dramatically.
