@nikhilidicula
I scale social brands through data-driven content, talent partnerships, and measurable growth.
What I'm looking for
I've led social and digital marketing for Amazon India, BookMyShow, Rebel Foods, Livspace, Happiest Health, Festival Sherpa, and PMJ Jewels, building brands through content, community, and culture-led campaigns.
At Amazon India, I grew social following by 90% while managing a community of more than 10 million users and standardised the brand's digital tone of voice and design language. I've also driven 200% social growth for Rebel Foods, 150% engagement growth at BookMyShow, and a 170% increase in web traffic and engagement at Festival Sherpa.
I combine creative storytelling, influencer and celebrity partnerships, performance analytics, ORM, and Generative AI to create campaigns that deliver real commercial impact, including 6 million YouTube views and a 5x sales increase.
