Commenting on the wins Tarun Rai, Chairman and Group CEO, Wunderman Thompson South Asia, said, “As debutants last year, we had swept the awards show. I am very happy that we did an encore this year. I am happy for other reasons too : 1) that we won these awards for our mainline clients, 2) that all our offices contributed and 3) we won across diverse categories – from Digital and Mobile to Experiential and Direct Marketing, besides films and film craft. This is the creative strength and capability of the ‘new’ Wunderman Thompson. Congratulations to the winning teams and to Senthil for leading from the front!”
Senthil Kumar, Chief Creative Officer, Wunderman Thompson India, added, “Our performance at Kyoorius Creative Awards (KCA) has been consistently good over the last 2 years.
