Vishal Nicholas, Planning and Strategy Head at DentsuMB (earlier Dentsu India) will now also lead strategy for Dentsu Impact. Under this expanded mandate, Nicholas will manage planning and strategy for South, Mumbai and Delhi for both agencies. He will continue to report into Sidharth Rao, CEO, DentsuMB Group.

Speaking on the elevation, Rao said: “As we continue to strengthen and reshape our creative offering in the Indian market, we needed a planning leader who has experience with both traditional and new-age businesses; and Vishal was the obvious choice to steer the strategy product for both DentsuMB and Dentsu Impact.”
Added Nicholas: “Ever since I joined Dentsu, I’ve always been excited about the Eastern approach to building brands with simplicity and second-order thinking at its core. With DentsuMB, the combination of the East and West make it even more compelling. And with Dentsu Impact’s fantastic roster of clients, I look forward to achieving greater business outcomes for them.”
