Two Indians, Sarda and Pradeep Dwivedi, CEO, Eros India of Eros STX Global Corporation who has been elected as Vice President and Area Director, APAC region will now play a role on the global marketing and communications stage.

At the World Board meeting of the International Advertising Association, held virtually on October 5, 2020, Srinivasan Swamy handed over the baton of the Chairman and World President to Joel E. Nettey, CEO, Innova DDB, Ghana.

The portfolio of VP digital innovations was created specially to deal with the increasing need of digital interaction and business processes.

He was also the Vice President – Young Professionals in the last term, the portfolio which he retains this year too with additional responsibility.

We are quite excited about this new phase of the IAA and what our new Vice Presidents bring to the table”.

Joel Netty, World President, IAA

“I am delighted that Janak will adorn a twin role at IAA. The last two years as VP-YP Development, he played a significant role in expanding and strengthening the YP membership. With his knowledge and interest in digital business, he would add a new dimension to IAA as VP in charge of Digital Innovation as well. IAA couldn’t have found a more committed person to play this dual role”.

I understand the immense role that IAA plays in networking and establishing trends and procedures for the advertising fraternity all over the world. I have enjoyed being VP young professionals and now with an additional responsibility to take IAA in the digital space, I am confident of using my expertise and knowledge in AI and digital technology to further strengthen the advertising, media and communications fraternity. With a changing world and at the speed with which it is, we will need digital emergence as a catalyst to growth.”
