About Me

Shobha Ponnappa

“In a digital world overflowing with content, ‘usual’ gets overlooked. My four decades in brand strategy have taught me this – the unusual, when rooted in sound strategy, stands out and sticks in the mind. That’s why I commit to being ‘Unusual by Strategy’. It’s not just about being different; it’s about being different where it counts. For your brand, this means content that’s not just noticed, but remembered and acted upon.”

- Shobha Ponnappa

I have notched up 40+ years of experience in multinational Advertising & Digital Marketing. I worked with global agencies like Ogilvy, JWT, and Lowe Lintas. I also owned my own avant garde web innovations company, Avigna Technologies.

I have consulted in Digital Marketing for close to 125 brands of all sizes and nuances – including global megabrands as well as disruptive startups. My clients tell me it is rare to find someone like me who has the seasoned strengths in three areas – Content Strategy, Brand Building, and SEO/UX Writing.

To add to this is my personal mandate to bring the unusual into every piece of work I do to lift its competitive edge.

I also have an MBA in Marketing from The University of Wales UK, and I’m a SmartBlogger Certified Content Marketer.
