        Student,  August 
        2001 to December 2002.
 Graduated with a Masters in Advertising from UT in December 2002(GPA 
        4.0) Ranked amongst 
        the top 3 graduate programs in the country, it is the only program that offers
        a dedicated sequence in Account Planning.  Focus 
        My area of focus while at UT was the highly reputed 
          Account Planning sequence. The sequence equips one with the essential 
          tools and techniques required for gaining consumer insights and devising 
          the overall brand strategy.  
        I believe 
          that an Account planner's role is not just limited to providing strategic 
          inputs or writing a brief for creating advertising. I view myself as 
          a brand consultant. A brand consultant who is not only interested in using research for building communication touch points but also combining these insights with 
          the brand's organizational strengths to provide strategic marketplace 
          solutions.        |
