Agency Report Card 2017: Cheil WW India
Cheil WW India looked to complete its ‘integrated’ offering in India by adding a design and e-commerce practice respectively in mid-2017. The agency roped in Prerna Mehra to head the design unit and Varun Jha to head the e-commerce offering. The big hire of the year was CSO Atika Malik, who replaced Neeraj Bassi.
