TBWA\INDIA wins creative duties for leading travel brand Yatra.com
ASIA-PACIFIC – MUMBAI, INDIA, AUGUST 18, 2010 – Yatra.com, a leading travel brand in the country, has assigned its creative mandate to TBWA\INDIA’s Gurgaon branch. The agency won the account, pegged at an estimated Rs. 20 Crore, following a multi-agency pitch that included incumbent Rediffusion Y&R, Delhi.
Elated at the win Nirmalya Sen, Managing Director of TBWA\INDIA said, “We are delighted to have this opportunity to help strengthen the Yatra.com brand. To grow exponentially, you need to look beyond the sameness in a category and think disruptively. That is perhaps more true in this category than any other. We are looking forward to using Disruption and Media Arts to help take the brand and the category beyond just online ticketing to the rich space of travel.”
Pratik Mazumder, Head Marketing and Strategic Relations at Yatra.com commented, “We were looking for a partner who would think out of the box and in TBWA we saw a partner whose disruptive thinking and creative approach will leverage Yatra.com as a brand and create differentiated propositions and value in the cluttered, commoditized travel market by developing integrated marketing programs across media platforms.”
