Sapan Sharma, General Manager - Ice cream, HUL, said, “We are excited to have BBH working on one of our most important launches this year. They are a young and energetic team with some great creative work to showcase and I expect them to create similar magic for Magnum.”

Subhash Kamath, CEO and Managing Partner BBH India, said, “It was one of the more exciting pitches to win. Magnum is an awesome ice cream, one of the best I've tasted. We're really looking forward to help promote it and make it a success in India.”

On the pitch, Russell Barrett, CCO and Managing Partner BBH, said, “Pitching for and winning a world famous brand like Magnum is a tremendous upper for all of us. Magnum is a modern brand; looking to engage with audiences and that is something we are very keen to do as a creative company. And then, it's the world's best ice cream, so product sampling is obviously a must that we will approach with tremendous dedication.”
