Speaking about the appointment, N. Ramamoorthi, president, Ogilvy South says in a press note, “Anirban’s leadership of our planning group ticks two boxes for us. One, he is from within Ogilvy – so he’s not new to the culture of the agency. Two, he is that rare breed of planner who has worked on both Brand and Digital planning – both crucial to Ogilvy’s Next Chapter transformation.”

Prem Narayan, chief strategy officer, Ogilvy India shares in this regard, “Anirban is a true Ogilvy all rounder. He has worked in our Delhi and Mumbai offices. Anirban is a great team player and is one of the finest leaders I have worked with. As head of planning, Anirban will partner with N. Ramamoorthi, Azaz, Kiran, Tithi and Mahesh. I am sure he will take Ogilvy South to greater heights.”
