GroupM has strengthened its digital practice with Manu Prasad joining as South Head for the social media practice, based in Bangalore. Prior to GroupM, Prasad was heading the social media practice at Myntra.com. In his new role, he will report to Karthik Nagarajan, National Head for Social Media.

Prasad has almost a decade of experience in traditional and digital brand management, having worked on WorldSpace, Mid-Day and several brands in the Times Group.

Prasad said of his new role, “GroupM has an exciting roster of clients, and I am thrilled at this opportunity to work with a diverse set of brands – across product categories, and at different stages of their lifecycle and social evolution. The goal would be to make each of them the gold standard in social, in their respective domains.”

Commenting on Prasad's appointment, Nagarajan said, “Manu brings a wealth of marketing leadership experience, across media platforms. His experience of having built a social media program ground up, in a category as dynamic as e-commerce, will be a huge asset. Our clients, especially the ones in the southern markets will benefit substantially from his contribution.”
