What I Do

Brand work, end to end.

Strategy, Not Guesswork

Audience, positioning, message — nailed down before a single ad gets made.

Campaigns That Actually Run

Meta, Google, YouTube, LinkedIn — planned, targeted, and pushed live, not just pretty slides in a deck.

Events, Start To Finish

Naming to on-ground execution — I own the whole experience, not just my slice of the brief.

Quality Control For Brands

A portfolio view across client brands, catching what breaks strategy before it ships.

How I Think

Own the brief. Ship it. Learn from what happens.

01

Own the whole brief

Not just the deliverable in front of me. I've sat close enough to leadership to know why a campaign exists before I know what it looks like.

02

Ship, then sharpen

I'd rather get a real version in market and read the response than perfect something no one's seen yet.

03

One story, every channel

Meta, Google, YouTube, LinkedIn — different formats, same spine. Consistency is the actual hard part.

Selected Work

Four engagements at Xpresso Global. One through-line.

Social StrategyLive ContentTwo Seasons

Calicut FC — built and ran the Instagram strategy from scratch, two seasons

Took Calicut FC's Instagram from its early follower base and built the strategy that took it through the roof: a live-matchday system with a graphics and motion team on-site producing real-time posters and goal cutouts as the match happened — so fans walking out of the stadium already had the story in their feed, and anyone who couldn't make it still felt like they were there.

StrategyCEO-Level OwnershipIP Event

Summit of Future — Jain University Kochi's IP, co-created with Xpresso

Operated with the kind of ownership the CEO himself would have — branding, strategic input on ticket sales, and creative direction across video and digital output, including how the posts themselves should look — for a 7-day event across 7 tracks with international speakers and celebrity guests. Coordinated the inter-team and vendor logistics between Xpresso and the university's side, so nothing fell through the cracks across a week of moving parts.

"High-pressure environments don't reward perfection. They reward clarity."

FinanceCEO-Level Ownership

Money Conclave — co-founded by Xpresso's CEO

Xpresso's CEO co-founded Money Conclave, India's Global Wealth and Investment Summit — which meant working directly under him with the same CEO-level ownership as Summit of Future: strategy, branding, and creative direction across video, digital, and every post that went out. With no partner institution to share the load this time, the responsibility ran deeper.

SupervisionCross-FunctionalClient Pitches

Cross-functional ops across Xpresso's entire client roster

Directly involved with every brand Xpresso touched — signed and still-being-pitched — sitting in on client meetings and pitches, then making sure strategy, creative, production, sales, and finance all moved in step. Less a task on a list, more air-traffic control for the whole org.

Multi-channel campaign execution

Ran paid and organic campaigns across four platforms for agency clients — planning, targeting, creative rollout, and reporting, coordinated with production so the story stayed consistent from channel to channel.

Where I've Built

Experience & education

2024 — 2026

Executive Assistant to CEO — Brand & Growth

Xpresso Global · Kozhikode

Started each day translating the CEO's priorities into motion — chasing decisions across strategy, creative, sales, production, and finance so nothing stalled. Owned brand positioning and growth bets, ran point on major events like Money Conclave and Summit of Future, and sat in on the conversations that mattered: expansion planning for Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Bangalore, org restructuring, and investor decks.

2023 — 2024

Digital Marketing Executive

Xpresso Global · Kozhikode

Ran paid and organic campaign execution across Meta, Google, YouTube, and LinkedIn for agency clients — planning, targeting, reporting, and coordinating with the production team so creative and media stayed in sync.

2024 — 2025

Marketing Head

7X Traders · Kozhikode

Brought in by friends who founded the forex trading academy, and owned whatever marketing a startup needed — branding, strategic planning, on-ground activations, and ads planning and direction — with no one else to hand the harder parts to. Took it to breakeven.

Education

BSc, Design & Visual Communication

PSG College of Arts and Science

Digital Marketing certification, Digital Scholar.

What I'm Looking For

A brand to run point on.

I've never had the luxury of someone else owning the hard parts. That's less a constraint and more how I actually like to work.

  • Brand Manager or brand/growth roles at D2C and startup brands, where I can own a brand end to end rather than one slice of it.
  • Teams that'll trade a few years of tenure for someone who's already run campaigns, strategy, and events with no one else to lean on.
  • Based in Bangalore, starting immediately — and open to the kind of brand that still feels a little unfinished.
