Message from The President’s Desk
I feel deeply honored to have been elected as President of the prestigious Delhi Advertising Club – the leading body for advertising professionals. It’s a matter of pride and gratitude to have been handed this post just as the club completed its 50th year since inception. I plan to further upgrade upon the tremendous work done by my predecessors.
I take inspiration from a famous quote coming from advertising Guru Jef I Richards: “Creative without strategy is called ‘Art.’ Creative with strategy is called ‘Advertising.”
My main focus will be on strategy and execution. I seek deep understanding and support from my team on this. We will have more events, membership drives, in-depth engagements, sponsorship drives and strive to redefine industry benchmarks. We are in the 21st century where the world is moving so fast that each year feels like a leap of ten years. I started my career as an Electronics Engineer, 21 years ago & working for DAC from past 6 years. I needed to keep up with the times and evolve every day to reach the position, where all my dear members have put me today. Hence we as a community too need to keep up with the evolving times, else we will lose out. Advertising needs more energy, enterprise, networking and collaboration. We will achieve that.
