TBWA\India named as AOR for Haier India and TBWA\London take Harrods account

Published by

Haier India, the consumer durables and home appliances firm, recently named TBWA\India as their media agency of record, meaning the agency will be responsible for all creative communication in print, outdoor and TV/Radio, taking over the mandate from Percept IBD. The full-service agency will be tasked with driving growth for Haier both online and off. TBWA has been involved with the company for the last few years, with their Magnon\TBWA shop acting as the digital AOR for online brand strategy and digital marketing communication. Consolidating its digital and media creative work within TBWA\India Group agencies is a strategic move by Haier, which will undoubtedly result in a more uniform, integrated approach to all future marketing efforts across all mediums. TBWA\India’s client roster also includes brands such as Apple, Nissan, Datsun, GSK, Dabur, Michelin, IDFC, Standard Chartered, NACO, Singapore Airlines, Adidas and Sify, among others.

Vineet Bajpai, TBWA\India's group CEO, said that “The consumer durables market is expected to double at 14.8 per cent compound annual growth rate in the 2015 fiscal year,” and that “This upward swing undoubtedly necessitates fresh thinking and cohesive approach to connect all customer touch-points.” He adds that the agency already has a six year history with Haier, during which time “The teams have managed to understand the brand’s ethos and its business model,” which he feels left them as “The most able partner to effectively integrate Haier’s online solutions and offline services.”
