@cherryychauhan
Brand strategist with expertise in creative and communication strategy.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned brand strategist with over six years of experience in building brand and creative strategies across various fast-moving sectors in India, including lifestyle, digital finance, food, and travel. My journey began in public relations, transitioned through sales, and included training in content, which has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of how strategy operates in real-world markets and with diverse audiences.
Currently, I serve as a Brand Strategy Partner at BBH India, where I have successfully developed cultural narratives for brands like Suntory and shaped entry strategies for Disney Cruise Line. My previous roles have seen me lead award-winning campaigns, such as the full-funnel strategy for a lifestyle jewelry brand that garnered three Effie India Awards and significantly increased gifting by 8.4%. My work is driven by a passion for storytelling and a commitment to innovation, ensuring that brands resonate deeply with their target audiences.
