Branding | Marketing | Digital & Strategy
I am a Marketing Professional with 12+ years of experience as a Digital Expert, speaker with qualified Masters in Marketing from IBS Hyderabad, and a proud alumnus of St. Xavier’s College, Don Bosco & IBS Hyderabad. I started my career at the age of 22 as a marketing executive.
I have worked in diversified roles ranging from sales, marketing, SEO expert to digital strategist across varied industries like finance, advertising, banking & Pharma.
My journey started with HDFC Bank as an acquisition manager and learned the trick and trades of managing a team and sales. As I was always keen to be in advertising to explore my creative side, Digital Bug bit me as it was new, trending, and complementing my skills completely. I started doing my research, read a lot of books/articles, and eventually enrolled myself in a local institute to learn digital marketing to get a hang of it. This was in parallel to moving to my next job in Shriram Group as a Digital Marketing & Advertising lead. Assisted in Creating Shriram App for mobile trading to laying down the strategy for the launch of Shriram mutual funds to creating a website and creating a complete online ecosystem.
After spending almost 3 years there, I joined my cousin based out of Malaysia and started a digital marketing company called ‘Fourdy Network’, we got some amazing clients from Malaysia like Pohkong, Linsad & few Indian clients like Shalimar. It was an enriching experience as I got hands-on experience in SEO, Social & paid media but the dream was short-lived.
Due to financial crunch and family emergency I had to leave the company & decided to move to Hyderabad and joined JWT (Advertising) as Senior Account Manager. I was able to work with some big names like Britannia, Apollo, Abhibus & a lot of start-ups. Creating their digital journey exposed me to a very rich experience from a digital strategist perspective.
I moved on to working at Dr. Reddys Lab. as Digital Strategist Innovation partner for India. Providing digital strategies & solutions to brands as to how to market and increase their brand visibility & sales overall. Then to Pharmeasy as AGM Digital & Strategy.
I have my own blow as well, siddharthbharadwaj.in with an objective to share my learnings and write broadly on the aspects of branding, marketing & digital.
Recently I was selected as a jury for Economic Times DG+ Awards and was a privilege to share space with some eminent colleagues.
As a hobby, I love to dance during weekends & I am a certified Zumba & Bollybeat Instructor & have taken various workshops under Shiamak.
