About

Nine years, two sides of the table.

Akash Puri is a programmatic and display advertising specialist with over nine years of experience turning data into decisions. His career spans both sides of the media business: agency floors at Merkle Sokrati and Machintel Corporation, and client-facing strategy at Dentsu, where he now manages display advertising and brand awareness programmes for enterprise accounts.

That dual vantage point shapes how he works. He has trafficked and quality-checked campaigns for advertisers as large as Oracle, Amazon Web Services and Northrop Grumman, coordinated with regional teams across time zones to keep delivery on track, and sat across the table from clients translating business goals into media strategy. Whether the job is fixing an under-pacing insertion order or presenting a quarter's worth of results to a brand's leadership, his approach stays the same: watch the data closely, optimise early, and communicate clearly.

Akash holds an MBA in Marketing from Sinhgad Business School and is certified across DV360, Google Campaign Manager 360, Google Ads and HubSpot. He is currently based in Pune, India.
