Veteran PR leader steps down as President of Lintas Live, marking the end of an illustrious career at the agency.
Mumbai: After an illustrious 28-year journey with the MullenLowe Lintas Group, Ameer Ismail has announced his decision to step down from his role as President, Lintas Live.
A key figure in shaping the trajectory of Lintas Live (formerly LinOpinion), Ismail has played an instrumental role in the agency’s growth and transformation over nearly three decades.
Joining the company in 1996, Ismail has been one of the longest-serving PR agency heads in the industry. Over the years, he has held several leadership roles within the group, becoming a member of the Lowe Lintas management committee in 2008 and heading various agency units including dCell, Advent, and Lintertainment.
He was also pivotal in establishing a joint venture with Golin, which led to his induction into the Golin Global Leadership Group in 2014. In 2018, he took on the additional responsibility of Chief Growth Officer at PointNine Lintas while continuing to lead the PR division.
Ismail will work closely with the leadership team at MullenLowe Lintas in the coming months to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.
Reflecting on his journey, Ismail said, “I’ve had a dream run at Lintas—benefiting from rich learnings across disciplines and functions. The future of PR and communications is immensely exciting, and emerging technologies like AI will offer an entirely new canvas of opportunities. My next move will embrace these possibilities and build on the experience I’ve gained along the way.”
