I have been a people's person since I could remember, which in turn made it easier for me to communicate with everyone. Communication has been the sole driver of humanity since forever and I believe I have a lot to offer in this role.
I bring a single-mindedness to my work. Commercial art means knowing when not to over-intellectualize and to ignore the voices in your head sometimes. I'm a communication expert and it's my job to take the message to the next level.
360 Advertising is happening as we speak. It takes more than a gorgeous print ad to break the clutter nowadays. If the Idea is Big enough...(and you can see the creative stretch applied to all mediums) good things can happen.
I believe that day to day work should run like clockwork - and no mood swings or creative hissy fits should come in the way of creating magic. Executional ideas are everywhere and are full of fury...signifying nothing. It's the really 'out there' ideas that you should try to push and lock. A few sleepless night can't hurt. Switch off after 500 PM, but also get turned on to the life around you. Insights are like traffic signs, waiting to catch your attention.
Working in advertising has made me a very passionate person, I love my work and what I create which helps me go the extra mile each time i'm on the driving seat.
