Mukherjee added here, “Isobar has been making all the right noises with some phenomenal work that has created a lot of chatter. With Isobar’s digital-first philosophy and approach to advertising, it is charting the right course for the industry in general; and what intrigues me the most, with such a philosophy, is the concept of having an ‘adda’ with your consumers, wherein storytelling is a two-way traffic. So, it’s a no-brainer that I need to be a part of this journey. Exciting times ahead!”
