Milton maker Hamilton Housewares appoints Rashi Bhushan AGM, Marketing and Omnichannel Media
Our read
Milton will more likely than not show a stronger omnichannel and retail-media emphasis within a year of Rashi Bhushan joining, though the change will be gradual rather than a sudden reset.
For operators
Hamilton Housewares, the maker of Milton, has put an agency-trained marketer, Rashi Bhushan (ex-DDB Mudra Group and Madison World), in charge of marketing and omnichannel media, so drinkware rivals should watch whether Milton's media planning and marketplace-plus-offline spending become more integrated.
Watch
A Milton campaign or media-agency change led by Bhushan before the next festive season would mean omnichannel spend is shifting, reshaping agency and marketplace budgets.
