Amagi wins IBC 2015 Innovation Award
MUMBAI: Cloud-based broadcast infrastructure and targeted TV advertising company, Amagi has bagged the IBC Innovation Award 2015 in the ‘Content Delivery’ category.
Winners were honoured on 14 September during an awards ceremony at the RAI Amsterdam during IBC2015, Europe’s largest electronic media and entertainment conference and exhibition.
Amagi co-founder KA Srinivasan said, “Winning the IBC Innovation Award signals a new era for content regionalisation where TV networks can deliver localised channels in an affordable and efficient manner than traditional satellite and fiber-based delivery methods. As television viewers around the world continue to demand more personalised content, Amagi’s advanced cloud and watermarking technologies will make it a cinch for broadcasters to address viewer preferences on a global scale.”
Amagi’s solution was given the IBC Innovation Award based on its unique ability to replace key content on Sundance Channel Global’s Latin American feed with content specifically geared toward the Brazilian audience, without using separate satellite feeds or degrading audiovisual quality.

WPP appoints Jane Geraghty Global CEO of Brand & Design
Veteran leader also named Global CEO of Landor in dual role.
MUMBAI: Jane Geraghty just landed the ultimate brand double-header because when you’re already running Landor, why not take the whole WPP design empire along for the ride? WPP has appointed Jane Geraghty as global chief executive officer of WPP Brand & Design while simultaneously naming her Global CEO of Landor. The dual role, announced via Geraghty’s LinkedIn post, positions her to lead the group’s specialist brand and design agencies at a time when clients increasingly demand stronger differentiation through multidimensional strategy and experience design.
Geraghty, who joined WPP earlier this year as chief client officer, brings over three decades of experience in marketing, branding and communications. She previously served as Global CEO of Landor (2017–2020), President for EMEA (2013–2018) and Managing Director (2011–2016), after earlier leadership stints at Saatchi & Saatchi, McCann-Erickson and Ogilvy in New York.
In her post, Geraghty said she was “thrilled” to step into the role, highlighting that branding and design are becoming critical for clients seeking differentiation. She emphasised the opportunity to harness WPP’s collective capabilities across agencies, noting that AI powered by WPP Open is already reshaping brand creation, management and global collaboration.
The appointment reflects WPP’s push to integrate its brand and design network more tightly, positioning it to deliver seamless, high-impact work at the intersection of business strategy and brand experience.
In an industry where creativity meets commerce, Geraghty isn’t just leading two titles, she’s steering the ship that turns brands from recognisable to unforgettable, one bold move at a time.
