“To find the balance between the spiralling online marketing needs of our clients and working towards making our processes smoother while looking for a few good people is an exciting and challenging role for me, but then online marketing is such a dynamic environment and being at Webchutney is as good as it gets!” she said in a statement.

Sivaramakrishnan was earlier a business director at McCann-Erickson. He has 10 years of experience in the advertising business. He says, “I spent the last five years working with large brands and have closely seen the anxiety they feel about getting their online strategies right. It’s interesting to be on the other side here at Webchutney and help marketers understand how online can work for them. It is an exciting time to be in this business and I am here to enjoy the ride.”

Commenting on the appointments, Sidharth Rao, chief executive officer, Webchutney, says, “While we are incredibly proud of the work we can create for our clients, the operational prowess of our two new branch heads will put in place a method to our madness.”

Webchutney currently has 150 employees in Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore. It claims to be growing at 100 per cent year on year.
