Alok Lall, executive director, McCann Worldgroup India, said, “We take pride in our ability to partner clients in finding solutions that create impact. As the marketing landscape is changing, brand strategists need to leverage the power of platforms and audience understanding to craft impactful solutions. Jeff joins the McCann strategy team and brings an ideal mix of digital first experience as well big brand ecosystems. His joining the McCann fold will add a new dimension to our valued client relationships in our Bangalore operation.”
