MY STRENGTHS

Brands I worked with

Challenge:Conceptualize a campaign that would do the following:a) transform Jockey into a lifestyle brandb) extend from being a men’s wear brand to an unisex brandc) enhance stature & brand leadership in the consumer’s mind

Idea:Inside all of us lurks an exuberant spirit that wants to be let out.. This spirit is usually smothered by cares, unease & inhibitions.. But when you are really comfortable in your second skin, you follow your heart without inhibitions.. You become playful.. Relax without a care.. Grab some action or simply shut off from the world.. “Just Jockeying” embodies everything that’s carefree and spontaneous in us.

Results:a) Gave the brand a unique positioning and a leader’s stance.b) Campaign set standards for the category & gave Jockey a high competitive advantage. c) Jockey’s sales went up to $75 million which was an increase of 42% from the previous year.d) Justjockeying.com garnered 500,000 hits in the first few days of its launch.

Challenge:It all started when the president of INP+, the largest Indian NGO working with People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), asked us a question we couldn't answer, "What about all those who already have it?". Contrary to the regular fight against HIV, we had to come up with an idea to comfort the lives of those already infected.

Idea:Created a matrimonial website exclusively for the PLHIV, giving them an opportunity to live a normal life and not be held back by social stigma. HitchIV.com came into existence and the site was constructed like a warren symbolizing the coming together of a huge network. Site was supported extensively through all forms of media. "Be Loved Again" was the theme of the campaign.

Results:The site gained popularity amongst the PLHIV, who registered on the site, including the President himself. Garnered 80,000 hits in the first few weeks of the launch & 194 registered members. 7 couples till date have got married through the site. It caught the attention of NGOs all over the country like UNDP, UNAIDS, PSI and earned their support. The President of INP+ had this to say, "We have fought the battle for decades now, through medicine & education. I guess love is as powerful a weapon as any other".

- Conceptualized & launched over 100 national & regional marketing campaigns for Big Bazaar,

increasing sales by over $100 million: 29.4% (2009-10) and by 25.6% (2008-09).

- Implemented ROI focused online marketing strategies for clients to enhance brand presence and generate

brand advocacy amongst the target audience

Some awards I have won

- The "Just Jockeying" campaign won 10 national awards in thePepper Ad Fest, including “Campaign of the Year”.

- HitchIV.com won a total of 6 national awards in the Goa Ad Fest and the Pepper Ad Fest, including “Best Website”.

- Two Line of Business Individual of the Quarter awards for excellence in leadership and performance from among 200 employees for Q3 2006 & Q1 2007 and a Team of the Quarter award in Q3 2007. (JPMorgan)

- National Award for excellence in Sales & Quality 2005-06 (AIESEC Chennai)
