Dentsu Impact appoints Megha Jain Sadhwani as vice president

Dentsu Impact, the creative agency from Dentsu Aegis Network that has been in the news recently for winning Maruti Suzuki digital and Ikea accounts, has strengthened its account management team by roping in Megha Jain Sadhwani as vice president. She will report to Amit Wadhwa, president, Dentsu Impact.

This is Sadhwani's second stint with Dentsu Impact. She worked with the agency for four years before moving to Australia last year. Prior to joining Dentsu Impact, she worked with Saatchi & Saatchi in Sydney where she was responsible for the Mondelēz business - Cadbury chocolates, The Natural Confectionery Company and Sour Patch Kids.

Commenting on her new role, Sadhwani says, "Coming back to Dentsu is like coming back to family for me. The agency houses some of the best minds in the industry and working with such people is always exciting and inspiring. Adding to that is the fact that this is probably the most forward thinking agency in the industry right now, one that has evolved its brand solutions for clients in the most innovative and integrated manner. I'm really looking forward to be part of this evolution and also applying my learning from the Australian market here."

The other agencies that Sadhwani has worked with include JWT and Publicis, where she handled communication for Pepsi, Nestlé chocolates and Nestlé Maggi. She also worked at adidas India before making her return to advertising.

Talking about the new addition to the team, Amit Wadhwa, president, Dentsu Impact adds, "(Megha) Sadhwani is valuable asset wherever she works. What sets her apart is her passion towards brand building and people. With Dentsu Impact growing at a rapid pace we certainly need the right people around to ensure we don't loose momentum and that's why the moment she decided to come back to India, getting her back in the team was an easy decision."
