Neeraj Sharma

Neeraj joins the group from Ogilvy’s 82.5 communications where he helped shape the strategy for many iconic and heritage brands like Bisleri, ACC, Vespa, Cipla and Franklin Templeton. The Bisleri work "Jo Bisleri nahi, wo peena nahi" is already winning multiple awards in award circles.

Navonil Chatterjee

With his stint at DDB Mudra he worked on many Johnson & Johnson brands like Johnson's Baby, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena etc. He helped Clean & Clear take on the leader and become no.2 brand in Facewash quickly and also won an Effie for it. He learnt and honed his digital strategy working on the biggest baby care brand Johnson's Baby to complement his mainline strategy (if you insist that they are very different).

Navonil Chatterjee, Jt. President & Chief Strategy Officer, Rediffusion, on the appointment says, “We are delighted to have a poet-planner amongst us in Neeraj, that too someone whom the great Gulzar had called up personally! Neeraj reinforces my belief that some of the best planning minds have an extremely creative bent to them, and we are counting on him to deliver both fame and fortune for us.”

Commenting on his appointment, this is what Neeraj had to say: " It's my second innings at Rediffusion, the house of some of the most memorable campaigns. Joining India's largest independent agency at this interesting juncture is both exciting and challenging for me. I am looking forward to an interesting ride working alongside Navonil and Rahul to take the story forward and upward.”
