Location: New Delhi

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

This opportunity is exclusively for professionals from the Experiential Marketing, Event Management, Brand Activation, Integrated Marketing or Advertising Agency industry.

Agency experience is mandatory.

If your experience has primarily been in SaaS, IT Services, Banking, Manufacturing, FMCG Sales, Insurance, Real Estate, Logistics, Consulting or any other non-agency sector, this role is unlikely to be the right fit.

Someone who understands pitches, retainers, production timelines, experiential marketing, event execution, integrated marketing, agency commercials and, most importantly, the passion that goes into creating unforgettable brand experiences.

This is not a corporate sales role.

This is a business acquisition, strategic client partnership and growth role within one of India's fastest-growing B2B marketing and experiential organisations.

Applications without significant agency experience will not be considered.
