Renee Kishore Steps Up To Senior Vice President At WPP Media
Renee Kishore has been elevated to Senior Vice President, Client Solutions at WPP Media, stepping up from AVP, Strategy and Partnerships at the agency.
- Role: Senior Vice President, Client Solutions
- Agency: WPP Media, Mumbai
- Previous role: AVP, Strategy and Partnerships, at the same agency
- Brands: Imperial Blue, Seven Islands Whiskey and Mansion House
- Experience: fifteen years across B2C and B2B marketing
What The Renee Kishore Brief Covers
Media strategy, brand solutions, activations, partnerships and strategic growth management, pointed at Tilaknagar Industries' alcoholic beverage portfolio in India. The stated priority is strengthening client partnerships and delivering integrated media and brand-building work rather than running a single discipline.
That combination is worth noting. Spirits is one of the few Indian categories where conventional advertising is largely closed off, so the planning problem is not reach but what can legitimately be built around a brand at all. Activations and partnerships stop being an add-on line and become most of the available surface.
The Route Into The Role
Fifteen years across B2C and B2B marketing, with expertise spanning digital strategy, brand building, content marketing, marketing communications and partner management, and covering India, APAC and the US markets.
The agency track runs through EssenceMediacom India and MediaCom, part of GroupM, with earlier associations including Reckitt Benckiser, InterGlobe Technologies, Vdopia, Resultrix, Publicis Groupe, ColorBar and Ogilvy & Mather. The elevation was shared on LinkedIn, where Kishore described starting a new position as Senior Vice President, Client Solutions at WPP Media.
Why A Client Solutions Title Matters Here
Client Solutions is the part of a media agency that has to answer for the whole relationship rather than one output. Moving somebody with a strategy and partnerships background into it signals that the holding brief is being treated as a growth seat, not an account-management one.
