Madison BMB welcomes new changes in its top team

Prabha Prabhu, Founder Member, Madison, who moved with Sam Balsara when he started Madison way back in 1988 has decided to retire after 28 years with the company. She held the position of the CEO at Madison BMB for the last several years. Raj Nair, the current Chief Creative Officer will now also assume additional responsibility of the CEO. While Kim Solomon will be a new addition to the team, who joins as the Chief Operating Officer. All these changes have been in effective from April 1, 2016.
 
Describing Prabha Prabhu as the youngest and most energetic lady in advertising, Sam Balsara, Chairman, Madison World, said, “Whilst I am sorry that I will not have the benefit of Prabha’s wisdom and expertise, I would like to wish her a cheerful, relaxed and fulfilling retired life. Prabha played a critical role in the formative years of Madison working on successful brands like Cinthol, Vicks, Whisper, BlueStar and She Comfort  and more recently with Asian Paints, VVF, Hyper City and Angel Broking among others. Prabha Prabhu said, “Madison has been my home for the last 28 years and has been an intrinsic part of me. Whilst I was happy doing effective campaigns for our clients, I was very keen to also win awards. And in the last 4 years we have won several awards.
 
Commenting on Raj Nair’s elevation to the position of CEO and Chief Creative Officer, Sam said, “Raj has proved over the last few years that whilst maintaining his creative focus, he can look at the larger business picture from the client’s perspective and I am sure this move will help make Madison BMB a more result oriented agency.
 
On appointment of Kim Solomon, Sam said, “Kim is a true blue advertising professional with over 20 years experience at Ogilvy, Mudra, Dentsu, Triton and Everest Advertising and has handled many blue chip clients over the years. I am sure his experience and expertise will add tremendous value to our current and future clients.
 
Raj Nair, CEO & Chief Creative Officer, Madison BMB,  said, “I cannot imagine life at Madison without Prabha. These are extremely large shoes to fill and we will do our very best to keep the flag flying vigorously. And of course I am looking forward to this new role and partnering our clients to help them continue to achieve their business goals through insightful advertising.
 
Says Kim Solomon, COO, Madison BMB, “Madison BMB has a great set of clients and Madison World is a wonderful and highly reputed organisation that I look forward to contribute to in ample measure.
