Karthik Srinivasan joins Social@Ogilvy as National Lead

Ogilvy India today announced the appointment of Karthik Srinivasan as National Lead, Social@Ogilvy. Srinivasan, who was previously AVP, Corporate Communications at Flipkart, comes with over 14 years of experience, both as a client as well as an agency professional.

"Ogilvy, as a brand, is all about bright, path-breaking ideas. And social media, as a function, has moved its focus away from run-rate platform management to creative ideas that work at the intersection of multiple client functions - marketing, corporate reputation, customer relationship, supply chain and human resources, among others. With the kind and nature of clients Ogilvy has in India, I see tremendous potential in the use of social media to make a tangible difference to their businesses," said Srinivasan.

Kunal Jeswani, Chief Digital Officer - Ogilvy India, said, "Social@Ogilvy is already India's largest social media agency practice. Our ability to connect strong social skills with creative and content capabilities has driven dramatic growth for us over the last 5 years. The social landscape is constantly evolving and Karthik has the right skills to help us shape the future of Social@Ogilvy. His experience in handling large social media mandates will also help us offer truly seamless social solutions to our clients."

Thomas Crampton, Asia-Pacific Director, Social@Ogilvy, said, "Karthik's appointment further strengthens our market-leading position for social media in the Asia-Pacific region. The strength of our team is directly derived from our ability to attract leaders of Karthik's calibre. His knowledge and experience will immediately bring great value to our clients in India and across the region."
