Rai oversees multiple countries with full-service agencies and digital companies including specialised divisions such as Shopper, Rural, Events, Design, Production, and Social.

Tamara Ingram, global CEO, J. Walter Thompson says, "Tarun's new title accurately reflects his responsibilities. Over the last three years, Tarun has ensured that all of these companies and divisions are integrated seamlessly to deliver the best communication solutions to our clients."

"Our clients are increasingly asking to integrate their brand communication across various touchpoints and platforms. What puts the JWT group at an advantage is that we have many specialised companies and divisions in the group, but a single P&L. This makes us platform-agnostic and allows us to focus on only the client and brand communication needs. I am lucky to have extremely talented and capable leaders of our various group companies, divisions and functions," says Tarun Rai.
