MUMBAI: The Advertising Club has unanimously elected the industry veteran Vikram Sakhuja (Group CEO - media and OOH, Madison Communications) as the president.

The outgoing president said: “Leading an apex industry body like the advertising club towards new echelons of growth has been an enriching experience. The Indian advertising industry has witnessed tremendous growth and has been at the forefront of curating some iconic behavioral change campaigns. I would want to thank the  club’s managing committee which helped bring alive  the  vision of  showcasing the Indian advertising industry as a global game changer."

Speaking about the appointment, he added, "Vikram brings with him tremendous understanding of the industry and global media trends."

Sakhuja said: “My endeavor is to work towards building further scale to the great work done by Raj, by adding onto and developing our existing marquee leadership forums into formidable and relevant global platforms.”
