The challenge for planners today is not just to find innovative and insightful ways of studying people and consumer culture but also to be able to project and transmit it in a way that it breaks the stereotype of planning being a silo style department and helps it mix and merge seamlessly in the creation of businesses & brands, especially to be seen as welcome partners in inspiring great creative work. I am excited to join Mudra and am hopeful that its collaborative, team driven culture will help planning be a force that comes from people, works with people but never comes in the way of people."
