Coming from a business background, Usha brings a business-focused approach to her work. For instance, when Securonix’s CEO visited India, the goal was to create a splash across print, online, and TV.

Money saved, but job done, as this approach proved successful with the video garnering over 1 lakh impressions.
Usha’s campaign for Securonix is also her best work. Securonix started its India sales in 2019, but with the industry at its nascent stage, Securonix’s challenge was to engage the right stakeholders and spark conversations around cybersecurity. Usha’s game plan of integrating the core messaging in all stories, nurturing stakeholders with information about Securonix offerings, and influencing key audiences with tailored messaging proved to be exactly what was needed.
