AD - Next up on Season 3 of HT Media Group’s Beyond The Brief is Rohit Jangra, Senior Director, Integrated Planning at dentsu. Rohit believes festive success in 2025 isn’t defined by clicks or impressions but by true incremental impact, campaigns that people remember and act on even after the noise fades. With attention metrics, brand lift, and conversion studies at the core, he focuses on what really drives growth. His trick to cut through Diwali clutter? Contextual storytelling backed by cultural insight, delivered on high-impact platforms where the message lands with clarity. And the myth he now laughs at? That digital delivers instant results. Impact, he says, is built through consistency, creativity, and trust, not overnight magic.
