As DigiBirds360 deepens its focus on brand storytelling and social-media-led campaigns alongside its performance marketing core, the appointment of a senior brand leader to spearhead this expansion marks a clear signal of intent.
Tejaswini Phadke’s Career Journey in Brand and Content Leadership
Phadke joins DigiBirds360 with close to a decade of experience across content, branding, and communications, built across newsrooms, radio, fintech, and cultural-event platforms. Her career spans hands-on creative leadership as much as strategic brand-building, a combination the agency says was central to the hire.
Most recently, Phadke worked as a Brand & Communications Specialist with SwaraZankar on a project basis, where she led branding and communications for more than 28 corporate partners across large-scale cultural events, combining social media strategy with on-ground activations and vendor management. Prior to that, she spent three years as Brand & Communications Manager at Bajaj Finserv Direct Limited, where she led brand and communication strategy across digital and internal platforms and scaled the company’s LinkedIn presence from 17,000 to 54,000 followers, a growth of roughly 218%, while also building internal communication frameworks that strengthened the organisation’s employee value proposition.
Earlier in her career, as Brand & Content Head at Sakal Media, Phadke led brand communication and content strategy for the 3KM app and the broader Sakal Media portfolio, driving Instagram growth from 300 to 13,000 followers, an increase of nearly 4,200%, through strategic, campaign-led content. In that role, she also closed three brand deals by pitching and executing content-led brand films and managed a 15-member creative team responsible for delivering campaigns, video content, and scriptwriting, giving her direct experience leading creative output at scale.
Her career began in radio, where she worked as a Radio Jockey with Radio Mirchi (Times of India) and later Radio City (Dainik Jagran), roles that combined on-air hosting with social media management, data and music reporting, and coordination with influencers and celebrities across markets including Pune, Kolhapur, and Goa.
Educational Background and Professional Certifications
Phadke holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Management with a specialisation in Journalism & Mass Communication from Symbiosis, completed through distance learning, and a Bachelor’s degree in Performing Arts from Savitribai Phule Pune University.
She has also completed certifications in Google-certified digital marketing and AI-driven marketing practices, reflecting a continued focus on staying current with evolving tools in the content and creative space. She is fluent in English, Marathi, and Hindi, with working knowledge of Japanese.
DigiBirds360 Leadership on the Expansion
Commenting on the appointment and the agency’s expansion, CEO of DigiBirds360, Mohit Singh, said the move reflects how far the agency has come and where it intends to go next. “As DigiBirds360 scales, brand storytelling and social media have become as central to our client conversations as SEO or paid media. We were looking for someone who has actually built brand narratives from the ground up, managed teams, and shown measurable results doing it. Tejaswini’s track record, from scaling a fintech brand’s digital presence to growing a media brand’s social following nearly 42-fold, speaks for itself.
We are hiring Tejaswini to lead our scale-up in Pune and Mumbai. She will head a team of ten there, and we are actively acquiring more brands and clients from that region. We are also looking to build our own proper corporate office in the Pune location. This appointment, and this expansion, reflect where we see the agency heading next,” said Mohit Singh, CEO, DigiBirds360.
Tejaswini Phadke on Joining DigiBirds360 as Brand Manager
Speaking on her new role, Phadke said she was drawn to DigiBirds360’s data-driven approach to brand and creative work. “What stood out to me about DigiBirds360 is that brand building, social media, and performance aren’t treated as separate conversations here. Having spent my career building brand narratives across media, fintech, and cultural platforms, I’m looking forward to bringing that experience into an agency that backs every creative decision with data.
There’s a real opportunity to help clients tell sharper stories while staying accountable to the numbers that matter to their business, and I’m excited to be leading that charge as we build out DigiBirds360’s presence in Pune and Mumbai,” she said.
New Role and Responsibilities as Brand Manager
In her new role, Phadke will be responsible for shaping the brand and social media direction of client campaigns across DigiBirds360’s service lines, working closely with the agency’s SEO, social media, and paid media teams to ensure brand output is aligned with performance goals.
She has been brought on specifically to lead DigiBirds360’s scale-up in Pune and Mumbai. DigiBirds360 has hired 10 digital marketing professionals for the Pune location, and Phadke will head this team of ten as she builds out the agency’s presence there.
Alongside this, she will play a central role in strengthening the agency’s brand storytelling, social media, and content marketing offerings, and in acquiring more brands and clients from the Pune and Mumbai region, an area DigiBirds360 has identified as a growth priority alongside its established strengths in SEO and performance marketing.
About DigiBirds360’s Growth and Client Portfolio
The expansion follows a period of steady growth for DigiBirds360, which has built a client roster spanning healthcare, robotics and automation, e-commerce, and consumer brands, with reported outcomes including significant gains in organic traffic, lead generation, and return on ad spend for clients. With its move into Pune, the agency is now working to bring on board more collaborators and clients from the city and the wider Maharashtra region.
The agency has positioned itself as a full-suite partner capable of handling everything from technical SEO to brand identity and PR, and its expansion into Pune, backed by a dedicated Brand Manager, is expected to reinforce that positioning as competition among digital marketing agencies in India intensifies.
DigiBirds360’s Next Phase of Growth
With this expansion, DigiBirds360 signals its intent to compete not only on performance metrics but also on the strength and consistency of the brand and creative work it delivers for clients. As the digital marketing agency expands its operations across Pune and Mumbai, backed by a growing local team and plans for a dedicated corporate office in Pune, it is positioning itself to work more closely with businesses across Maharashtra. This combination of performance expertise, creative capabilities, and a stronger regional presence is expected to define its next phase of growth.
