Hi there, I’m Raman, a copywriter in Toronto, where I’ve been working on some of Canada’s most loved brands: Dairy Farmers of Canada, McDonald’s, President’s Choice, Scotiabank, Kraft, Samsung and Rogers.
I have worked in three cities, lived in two – Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai and Delhi, and picked up some awards along the way, before moving to Toronto.
My experience includes working on a range of global brands, from CPG, tech, fast food, alcohol, financial institutions to telecom.
When I’m not thinking of ideas for ads, I’m thinking of ideas for growing my own food indoors in the great Canadian winter. Call it my side hustle that puts food on the table.
