Helping the branded content team create compelling pitches for business development.

Through setting up the Customer Success function, I was responsible for developing data backed pitches and insights for large clients to unlock business opportunities. Working on partnerships with clients like P&G, Amazon and Myntra, I pioneered a consultative selling approach, marrying platform strengths with client requirements to offer the right mix of solutions. The efforts of my team led to a ~15% growth in revenue from key advertisers. We also upsold and developed sponsorships as a revenue stream, spearheading a 33% growth in sponsorship revenue and writing 25 crores of revenue on Bigg Boss OTT, India's premier digital entertainment property in its first season. Under my leadership, the team established several process and templates for value added services to key clients such as comprehensive campaign post-evals, quarterly business reviews and Nielsen DAR tracking.

I helped set up the brand solutions team, offering a mix of innovative and highly customised native advertising formats such as sponsored articles, sponsored videos, infographics, interactive display units and microsites. Our team of inventive writers, coders and designers created immersive digital experiences for brands that rested seamlessly in the Scroll format and engaged readers. Through efforts to roll out new formats and streamline delivery and client servicing, I helped deliver a 26% growth in revenue in my first year and consolidated advertising as the primary revenue stream for the publisher.
