Pranshu Sehgal

Digital Program Lead
Dubai,United Arab Emirates

Summary

In the past 9 years, I have worked with companies across multiple industries, in UAE, Singapore, India and the US, and enabled them to register substantial growth in short time spans and with shoestrings budgets.

A true marketer at heart, I combine my expertise in Information Technology with marketing to help generate exponential growth for the companies. I pick up where traditional advertising and marketing falls short and get companies their desired results.


Some of my achievements over the past 9 years have been:


  • Worked alongside, handled and managed relationships for critical clients such as Emaar, American Express, Unilever, GMR, Arvind and NUS - Singapore to name a few.
  • Headed the development and launch of an aggregator platform for tailors offering Arab men’s clothing in UAE.
  • Rebranded an Ayurvedic Beauty brand and helped them position themselves as a luxury cosmetic brand. This led to 3x growth in online revenue in under 10 months. In 2 years, they expanded to an international presence in over 15 countries.
  • Used a mix of sales funnel optimization, content marketing, experiential marketing and Influencer marketing strategies that helped a 5 star luxury hotel in Jaisalmer, India drive up sales.
  • Used social media marketing with inbound marketing to promote an Education startup in India. This led to them breaking even in under a year.
