INDIA – BBDO India has appointed Kunal Solanki as Vice-President for the Mumbai office. He will report to Atin Wahal, Executive Vice-President and Head of BBDO’s Mumbai operations.
Solanki began his career in advertising more than 18 years ago and joins us after 11 years working in the Middle East (Dubai). He has experience across various categories including Telecom, FMCG, Automobile, Banking, Electronics and Durables working on different brands such as Hutch & Vodafone, Marico, Sony, LG, Heinz, Kimberley Clark, Hyundai, Westside (TATA), Cox and Kings.
Over the last few years he has helped develop the digital arms of agencies in Dubai, with a focus on integration and content creation.
