Over the last twenty years, a lot has changed. Our playlists have moved from Walkmans to mobile phones, the idiot box has turned smart, connected to endless apps serving on-demand entertainment, billboards have turned digital, and doom-scrollers have replaced leisurely readers. But what remains constant is the advertising and marketing industry being at the forefront of these transformations with your weekly IMPACT closely following these trends, keeping readers up-to-date in this ever-evolving landscape. As we turn 20, we celebrate some of the most inspiring, interesting, and pathbreaking stories our editorial team has curated during the last two decades. Stories that have shaped the Indian A&M industry as we know it today, stories that matter.
This week, we take a look back at Shashi Sinha’s impressive first year as the CEO of IPG Mediabrands India, wherein he talks about the competent team he built, big account wins, and plans for the future. On the other side, enjoy some glimpses from the debut of WPP Stream – a series of conferences that brings together WPP agencies, clients, and partners, where they discuss everything tech – in India.
