Hakuhodo Percept appoints Bhaskar Ghosh national CSD

Bhaskar Ghosh has joined Hakuhodo Percept as national client services director. His last assignment was at Rediffusion Y&R as branch head of Delhi, a move reported in August 2012.

His key focus areas will be to strengthen Hakuhodo Percept’s client relationships, put in place best practises in account management, and create opportunities for new businesses and growth across branches in India, informed a Hakuhodo Percept statement.

Elvis Sequeira – ED, Hakuhodo Percept, said, “It’s been a long, long courtship, and am happy that we’ve got Bhaskar on the team. We’ve been slowly re-engineering ourselves over the last couple of years, getting fabulous talent on board to head planning and creative, so really this was the final missing piece in our plan. Bhaskar is a wonderful mentor for young talent and an inspirational leader who loves to roll up his sleeves and get things done. I believe that clients, brands and people have a lot to gain from Bhaskar’s talent, involvement and style of functioning.”

In a career spanning two decades, Ghosh has also worked with Contract, Grey, Bates, Leo Burnett and TBWA.
