It's a question that bogs down virtually every entity in the space of creative communication. How does a brand get itself to be seen, heard and remembered amidst all that media clutter? Young gets its answer to this one with Anup Kotekar, a senior media expert with top drawer experience in media marketing and management. Anup's career has had long and rewarding stopovers at the Times of India - where he was involved in hard-core media marketing for 12 years, WPP – where he set new benchmarks as the National Head (Sales) and Group M. Anup has also been a part of the core team which set up India's first retail media company Future Media – where he served as the Business Head for the audio visual media vertical.
Jitendra, along with being an expert media strategist, is also an avid learner. Armed with an MBA in marketing, he has previously lent his expertise to leading media establishments such as Times of India, Mid Day and Radio City. Needless to say, he brings vast knowledge and experience to the agency. At Young, he has taken up the challenge of creating and marketing new business initiatives in the media vertical. Interested in fresh, innovative avenues to explore, he’s always on a lookout for new and effective media offerings for our clients.

The quieter you are, the more you can hear. This is certainly true in the case of Sangram - the person with a perennial happy face. Never one to shy away from any kind of assistance on work, he is also the one responsible for almost all of the content in its various formats on our website. One of the un-work-related things that Sangram likes to listen to is Bollywood & remix music. We assume he does this in silence too.

Swati likes to dance through life on the tune of Working Man, her magic fingers expertly playing with numbers, feeding her life-long affair with finance. When not busy trying to keep us away from her box full of change, she enjoys going to places, buying things, reading and music.
Living life with the Sound Of Music soundtrack playing in the background, Veena is one of those few people who can say things like ‘life is beautiful’ and ‘power is within us’ and make it sound believable and inspiring.
