PerceptH has bagged the 360-degree media duties for Fruit of the Loom, an international apparel manufacturing company. The account will be serviced out of the agency's Pune office.
Shrikant Raghavan, vice president, sales and marketing, Fruit of the Loom India, says, ''Fruit of the Loom brings to India a 158-year legacy of comfort, style and consistent quality – features that have endeared the brand not only to its American customers, but also to an ever increasing, discerning clientele worldwide. Today, Fruit of the Loom is a globally established brand, having made inroads successfully into Europe, China, Japan and East Asia. In India, however, we are relatively unknown, and through our association with PerceptH, we hope to reach our consumers with clear and innovative communication strategies as well as build our brand equity in the Indian market.''
Commenting on the win, Prabhakar Mundkur, CEO, PerceptH, said, ''The company has a range of comfortable and trendy apparel, and we are sure that with our strategic and creative inputs we will create memorable advertising campaigns that will deliver high recognition and success for the brand in the Indian marketplace.''
