In that context, the task is also to see how we can better integrate the various offerings it has, in order to provide more holistic solutions to clients.

We live in interesting times to put it mildly, and I am glad that a new model of working allows me to explore different facets of the rapidly evolving communications business. Along with Saatchi& Saatchi and Sorento Healthcare, I am currently also consulting with Social Wavelength, a social media agency. The diverse learnings are synergistic and add value to all the stakeholders”, he added.
