Shortly after, the partnership with Omkar began. Hybrid now becomes the next step in our mission to make engaging storytelling the hero.” Says DK, as he is called amongst the industry folk. He adds, “By combining, and improving upon the best of traditional and digital eras, Hybrid strives to create advertising for ages, not just pages. That’s what our partners get from us consistently “.
Speaking about the appointment, founder Omkar Joshi says, “DK is a powerhouse who thrives on challenging briefs. There are very few creative leaders who understand so many aspects of the craft (in multiple Indian languages) and can contribute across functions while being great shepherds too. DK has proven his ability through a truly broad body of work in a very small period of time. I am thrilled that he has made Hybrid his home. We will gain in leaps and bounds from his vast experience in work and in life.”
