Pidilite Industries elevates Pallavi Mestry Haval to Head of Media after more than 10 years at the company
Our read
Pidilite Industries is more likely than not to treat this as a continuity promotion, keeping its media strategy and agency set-up largely unchanged.
For operators
Pidilite is filling its top media role from within, with a leader who has agency experience at Carat India and Madison Communications, so expect continuity in media planning and agency relationships rather than a change of direction.
