  • Tanushree Radhakrishnan returns to ZenithOptimedia as SVP

    Tanushree Radhakrishnan returns to ZenithOptimedia as SVP

    MUMBAI: The ZenithOptimedia Group is expanding and consolidating its digital operations in India. The global media services network has recently hired media veteran Tanushree Radhakrishnan, who was serving GroupM India earlier, as MEC North digital head.  Radhakrishnan will report to Zenith Optimedia Group, digital companies Performics and Resultrix, MD Tanmay Mohanty. 

    This is her second innings with the ZenithOptimedia Group. She was previously employed with the organisation between 2008-2013 and was instrumental in the phase when Resultrix was being integrated into the group.

     

    Mohanty says that Radhakrishnan will help the group deliver holistic value to the clients and develop a 360-degree offering basket in line with the Live ROI philosophy. “The group is witnessing unprecedented growth all around, whether it is increase in spends from existing clients, the rush of new business or talent. Be it the setup of a media technology division in Bangalore this year or the launch of Performics Mobile last year or the Centre of Excellence teams, there is a lot of vibrancy and energy flowing within, and I am sure that Radhakrishnan will now be a part of it. She has rich and varied experience across all key verticals of digital marketing and we are delighted to have her on board. Her real strength lies in delivering high ROI for clients.” He explains.

    Radhakrishnan concludes, “After having spent fantastic five years during my earlier stint, I’m excited to be back with the ZenithOptimedia Group. Performics is one digital organisation that really invests into its products and has the best in class tools and technologies. So am really thrilled about setting up and leading their Programmatic offering and Product Standardization, which is the need of the hour and will help us add value to our clients.

  • ZenithOptimedia’s Performics sets up Centre of Excellence for media technology in B’lore

    ZenithOptimedia’s Performics sets up Centre of Excellence for media technology in B’lore

    MUMBAI: ZenithOptimedia’s Performics has set up a full-fledged digital media technology Centre of Excellence, which is a first of its kind in India. 

     

    The centre will be based in Bangalore and will provide capabilities on real time segmentation and insights, services across marketing automation, attribution, data modelling, content and commerce. The centre will specifically cater to the Indian sub-continent.

     

    Performics India MD Tanmay Mohanty said, “This centre is set up to provide solutions for comprehensive and integrated marketing, that will enable marketers to measure, personalize, and optimize marketing campaigns and digital experiences across screens and platforms. As you would know, globally Publicis has partnered with Adobe for these ‘Always On Solutions’ that will power insights and data fuelled planning globally for Publicis. The preferred partnership between Performics India and Adobe is already gaining traction with customers such as Airtel and Tata AIG already migrating to Adobe Marketing Cloud. Many other organizations are showing similar interest.” 

     

    ZenithOptimedia group CEO Anupriya Acharya elaborated, “This is something that we have been working on for some time and in our assessment, the time is ripe to set up a centre like this. Online video is seeing explosive growth thanks to the explosion of mobile video consumption and the spread of internet-connected devices like desktop computers, tablets and television screens. All key social media platforms are developing their video products; and more online video is being sold by programmatic buying, providing advertisers with more control and better value. We find that currently a lot of clients, especially in the e-commerce and mobile segment have to work with media technology companies that are outside of India and have a hard time getting the time and attention they require. With this centre we want to be able to solve these problems like the understanding of these products and their potential. We have to help our clients make wise marketing decisions based on data and make the most of their marketing campaigns with the technology. Inside India we will be testing multiple technologies against client requirements. Both our teams and clients are excited about it.”

     

    Adobe South Asia director enterprise Kulmeet Bawa added, “Top brands around the world across industry verticals use Adobe Marketing Cloud to reach and engage customers, and our partnerships go a long way in making this possible. We congratulate ZenithOptimedia’s Performics on the establishment of their first centre of excellence for media technologies in India and are certain that customers in India will benefit immensely from this set up.”
