    Mindshare India celebrates global ‘Mindshare Day’

    MUMBAI:  Dedicated at celebrating Mindshare’s tenets of speed, provocation & teamwork and everything that Mindshare globally stands for, Mindshare’ global community celebrates Mindshare Day today, January 13th 2016. Institutionalized three years ago, Mindshare Day was conceptualized with the intention of bringing everyone within the Mindshare team together to celebrate the diversity of their talent, skill sets and great ideas.  Mindshare Day is that one-day in the year that commemorates Mindshare holistically.

     

    Commenting on this, Mindshare – South Asia  CEO  Prasanth Kumar said, “Mindshare Day is the opportunity for all at Mindshare to connect with the entire network. It is our vision to help clients grow their business and profitability through Adaptive Marketing, provocative ideas and new areas of engagement, which we believe can only be achieved through exceptionally driven and skilled talent. We’ve had a phenomenal 2015 and we chose to leverage this special day to celebrate as well as retrospect and give back to society through our initiative with the NGOs.  We look forward to raising the bar and collectively motivating ourselves for an even better 2016.”

     

    With a focus on what Mindshare can do globally to make the world a better place through both media experience and helping social causes in every country, Mindshare India decided to open new avenues for under-privileged children. The celebrations with the children from several NGOs took place across all the India offices, where the employees took time out to engage with them through a T-shirt painting activity. These T-shirts were later auctioned off to the employees in order to raise funds for NGOs such as Kalyandeep (Mumbai), Jhanan Mandira (Bengaluru), New Hope & New Life Rest (Chennai) and Literacy India in (Gurgaon).

     

    With the belief in ‘Talent that attracts Talent’, Mindshare India makes great efforts to attract exceptional talent, which has positively impacted their business tremendously. Mindshare strongly believes that to drive change one needs to infuse fresh talent from diverse backgrounds. They also believe in rotating people across jobs to bring in a fresh perspective. The past year has seen remarkable strengthening of teams across verticals with diversified skills. Sharpening talent to create new opportunities and face new challenges is the Agency’s topmost priority, which is evident in the investments they make in the very best training and development team with world-class programmes from Mindshare Global, GroupM Worldwide, as well as a host of domain experts from India and South Asia. 

     

    The Mindshare network connects everyone together creating a platform for the free flow of ideas and path breaking work from which all can learn and leverage. 2015 was a landmark year for Mindshare India – winning an impressive array of over 175 awards, organizing the first-of-its-kind Content Day for HUL thereby paving the way for several other clients globally and talent management.

    ‘Mindshare Day’ Celebrated Around the Globe

    MUMBAI: Mindshare globally recognized 15 January as Mindshare Day and celebrated it by announcing its refreshed global positioning: original thinking driven by speed, provocation and teamwork. In Asia Pacific, the network held a region-wide video conference call where 17 countries and 24 offices – from Karachi to Sydney – dialed in to share thoughts and ideas around the new vision.

     

    Five years ago, Mindshare moved away from the conventional media agency structure and redesigned itself around four integrated and interactive divisions – Client Leadership (account management), The Exchange (media buying), Invention (strategy and ideation) and Business Planning (data and analytics). In a similar way, Mindshare has now redefined its brand positioning to the rest of the world, and aims to bring to life its promise of being the fastest, most collaborative and most adaptive media agency.

     

    In 2013, Mindshare won the Agency Network of the Year award at the Campaign Agency of the Year awards, Festival of Media Asia and the APAC Smarties organized by the Mobile Marketing Association. Mindshare was also recognized by over 200 awards across the region at local and regional levels for clients including Unilever, Kimberly-Clark, Nestlé, Nike, Cisco, Hong Kong Disneyland and many more.

     

    Mindshare has the youngest and most diverse CEO profile in the region, with Australia’s Katie Rigg-Smith being the first woman to lead a media agency in Australia, and Amrita Randhawa taking the lead of Mindshare China at the age of 35.

     

    The agency also brought in large pieces of business in 2013 – including NAB, Origin Energy and Nike in Australia, booking.com in China and Dyson across the region. Cosmetics giant L’Oréal and pharmaceutical giant GSK were successfully retained in all markets, and the former was added to Mindshare Korea’s portfolio.

     

    It was also a successful year in terms of partnerships for Mindshare. The agency partnered with Geometry Global and Ogilvy Action to create ECC (Emerging Class Consumers) – a comprehensive framework and communications planning tool for rural areas in Asia. This has been implemented with Unilever and Friesland Campina in Vietnam, and will be expanded in 2014.

     

    Another exciting partnership was with McLaren F1 Racing at Cannes, where Nick Emery, Mindshare Global CEO and McLaren F1 racing driver Jenson Button shared the stage to talk about the importance of being adaptive – whether on the race track or in advertising. Mindshare drove yet another innovative partnership between Manchester United and Unilever, where Unilever became the club’s first official Personal Care and Laundry partner in South East Asia. In a mobile study conducted towards the second half of the year, Mindshare toured the region with Yahoo! to share findings of a smart device study that could change the way clients think about mobile altogether.

     

    Ashutosh Srivastava, Chairman Asia / CEO Emerging Markets Group at Mindshare, said – “At Mindshare, we believe it is not just about size and scale, it is about speed and provocation, and challenging the status quo. That’s how we continue to relentlessly adapt to changing trends in the industry; changing needs of clients and consumers; devise new and varied tools and technology and find new ways of thinking and collaborating together. It is testament to our exceptional teamwork that we have been recognized as the strongest network in Asia Pacific by industry leading organizations like Campaign, CSquared and MMA. “

     

    With a consistent desire to be its clients’ lead business partner, and a deep-rooted belief that everything begins and ends in media, Mindshare is evolving the way it talks about itself to adapt as the industry evolves around the world.

     

    Nick Emery, Global CEO, Mindshare, said: “We see everything as a medium.  We aim to be our clients’ lead business partner and work together with our clients from beginning to end.  Our adaptive approach creates new revenue streams, platforms, communities and partnerships as well as new products and new ways of working.  This allows us not only to mirror our clients’ ambitions but also to go one step further.”
