I've sat at every table in the advertising room - brand, agency, founder, quick comm. I run the non-endemic advertising vertical at Zepto, pitching media to brands that don't sell groceries - real estate, BFSI, EdTech, D2C, fintech. Before that, I built and ran Staple East, a sustainable home décor brand rooted in North East artisan communities. Before that, brand strategy at boutique agencies, and freelance consulting across fashion, fitness, F&B. That range means I've written the brief, approved the budget, pitched the CMO, and built the Instagram page from zero - all from different chairs. Book time with me if you want to talk: — Media strategy & advertising sales (how to pitch, price, and close) — Building a D2C/craft brand from scratch — Personal branding & content on Instagram/LinkedIn — Career pivots that actually make sense in hindsight No fluff. Just what's worked (and what hasn't) across four very different sides of the table.
