About Neerja Shah
I knew I always loved stories—telling and writing, but wasn’t always sure of that being my calling. So I focused on adding different feathers to my hat over the last nine years, slowly yet steadily- I wrote SEO-optimised content for 200+ brands, businesses, and restaurants, organised and managed 50+ events, increased sales by 60% and learnt how people and content shape a narrative- I designed and taught a soft-skills module for a semester at my Alma mater and increased student engagement in an elective class by 80% to prove that you can be responsible for your own education, no matter the age- I worked as a freelancer on building website wireframes and content, social media strategies and social content for 15+ brands to better understand how to shape a voice online- I moved cities to work at a global PR agency, built a new business portfolio from the ground up, led corporate communications and media relations for 12+ tech clients such as Uber, Lendingkart, Accenture, and SAP and learnt how to create impactful campaigns- At Obvious, I was proudly responsible for building a Comms and Sales function and balancing storytelling with measurable objectives. I created and executed multi-layer, cross-functional communications and employer branding strategies to increase visibility, work with great clients and build a talented, diverse team. I also launched the Obvious Communications Studio as a third business arm to help businesses focus on things that often come as an afterthought but shouldn\'t: UX copy, internal comms, org wikis, playbooks, content style guides et al- At Pixxel, I established the PR and Communications function and now drive Brand, shaping how Pixxel leads the next generation of space tech and deep-tech innovation across India and the US.I love zero-to-one roles where I have the freedom to navigate ambiguity and challenges, but I equally enjoy setting up fundamental processes. I also firmly believe that well-crafted information will always find an audience. Outside of work, you can find me travelling, ticking things off my adventure list, eating and cooking great food, playing board games, reading, or building Notion pages (Like this one that helps people who’ve just moved to Bangalore and are looking to rent homes: https://neerjashah.notion.site/neerjashah/Renting-a-house-in-Bangalore-fbe47920dc1a4df9975e8cbcbb92d540) She/HerYou can reach out to me at: N••••••••@gmail.com |@neerjargon on Twitter
