Amanat Mann

Experiential marketing professional with three years of hands-on experience planning and executing brand activations, PR campaigns, influencer seeding, and on-ground consumer events across luxury hospitality and premium F&B. Trained at Marriott International across integrated marketing campaigns, high-profile event launches, and cross-functional agency coordination for properties in Bangalore and Hyderabad. I understand how to build brand moments that go beyond the logo — from concept brief through logistics, on-site execution, and post-event review.

Having worked closely with premium on-trade environments throughout my career, I am now actively looking to deepen my expertise in the spirits and beverage industry, where I can bring my activation and storytelling skills into a category I am genuinely passionate about growing in.
