Commenting on the wins, Nikhil Dey, President, Genesis Burson-Marsteller, South Asia, said, “It is a great feeling to represent such a diverse portfolio of clients across a range of industries and geographies. We are particularly happy that some of our new wins are in spaces, which we had identified as growth areas for the firm such as Step Up and our health and wellness practice. Increasingly, our teams are being given the mandate to manage campaigns where digital or social media is playing a major role – this is clearly a sign that the appetite for integrated campaigns is growing.”
