      My Job Description here comes with a lot of jargon. If you'd want me to sum up what I do, I come up with kickass campaigns for some of the coolest brands in India. Here’s the roster of brands that I have worked with in my time here at Foxy:Sports / Tech / Metaverse:-> Star Sports-> FanCrazeAutomotive:-> TVS iQubeFashion:-> Wrangler-> PRODUKT by Jack&Jones-> i.Scenery by VERO MODA-> JDY by ONLYAppliances:-> A. O. SmithHealthcare:-> toothsi by makeO-> Skinnsi by makeOConstruction:-> Marble Centre InternationalPitches. This is, hands down, the most creative and fun part of my job. I get to present outlandish (yet practical) ideas to prospective clients and cook up copy and campaigns that (hopefully) floor them. Following are the brand pitches that I have worked on:-> Kingfisher Ultra-> ZoomCar-> Kopiko-> Hubble Money-> Woodland-> CollegeDekho-> Lenovo-> Tata Steel-> Dockers-> Bajaj Electricals-> Kingfisher Premium-> Duolingo English Test (DET)-> ITC Supermilk Biscuits-> Xiaomi-> iQOO Show less
