3. Tech + Auto Vertical Activation: Instagram India + Cadillac India + Uber India = premium brand campaigns.

4. FMCG + BFSI Premium Brand Activation: P&G + AB InBev + Heineken = exactly the kind of premium brands that need premium immersive-tech for flagship campaigns.

5. Independent Global Network Access — Cross-Pitch (9 cities): Rahul Mathew can introduce TPH to W+K global network (Portland HQ + London + Tokyo + Shanghai + São Paulo + Berlin + Amsterdam + NYC). Single pitch → 9-city global network. Highest-prestige independent creative network globally.

Score: 82/100 — Tier 1 Lane A (Foreign Network — Independent Premium)

Weighting: Global network Independent (12/15) · Top-15 network (12/15) · Rahul Mathew + Shivani Sethi (14/15) · 3 PUBLIC senior leaders (8/10) · Nike + Levi + KFC clients (10/10) · 150+ employees (6/10) · W+K global 9 cities (8/10) · Cannes Lions Grand Prix winner (5/5)

12. Recommended Outreach

⚠️ BLOCKED pending founder approval

Approach: Founder → info@wk.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED) as first touch, or rahul.mathew@wk.com for direct MD outreach. Shivani Sethi (Head of Strategy) = strategic strategy champion. Direct phone +91 11 4600 9595 (Delhi) also available.

Warm-intro paths: (a) Via W+K Global Portland HQ. (b) Via Nike India brand team (W+K anchor client). (c) Via Cannes Lions network (Rahul Mathew is jury member). (d) Via exchange4media network (Rahul Mathew is Most Influential Creative Leader 2024).

Cold pitch angle (if approved): Pitch TPH as "W+K India's preferred immersive-tech execution partner for Nike India + Sportswear + Tech mandates — anamorphic + AR + projection mapping for Nike, Levi Strauss, KFC, Instagram, Cadillac". Reference BMW anamorphic + Asian Paints Nilaya Anthology as immersive-tech pedigree. Cross-network value: Single pitch → W+K global 9-city network (Portland + London + Tokyo + Shanghai + São Paulo + Berlin + Amsterdam + NYC).
