Mullen Lintas to handle creative mandate of PharmEasy

PharmEasy has appointed Mullen Lintas as its creative AoR following a closely contested multi-agency pitch.

The agency made the cut on the back of its robust experience with consumer-facing businesses and a comprehensive understanding of the consumer and the healthcare business.

The Mumbai office of Mullen Lintas will handle the business.

According to a recent report by Grand View Research, the global health-tech market is anticipated to reach US$ 104.5 billion by 2020. This is a reflection of a more interesting trend in India – the Indian healthcare market is expected to reach US$ 280 billion by 2020, from the current US$ 100 billion, according to an IBEF report.

Dhaval Shah, Co-Founder, PharmEasy, said, “We wanted a partner who can understand what we are trying to do and Mullen hit the nail on the head. They completely understood what our consumers want and hence we were extremely excited to work with them.”

Rajev Shukla, Managing Director, Private Equity, Everstone Capital, said, "The team at Mullen Lintas is absolutely top class, and has been an excellent partner to the PharmEasy Team and us. Mullen has translated our brief into a brilliant creative campaign for the national launch of PharmEasy and we look forward to doing more great work with the team in the months and years to come.”

With the huge opportunity that India's offers, there are more than 200 e-pharmacy players. It is vital for a brand to stand out from the huddle not just as a unique product proposition but also have a distinct marketing proposition. Mullen Lintas has the mandate to hack growth for the PharmEasy brand with its strategic and creative strengths.

Amer Jaleel, Group Chairman and CCO, MullenLowe Lintas Group, said, "The cross-culture of e-commerce and medicines makes for a very interesting space to pitch a brand in. We like the questions this throws up – how serious we want to be? How value-conscious the brand needs to look? How can the brand be both quirky and trustworthy? All in all a lip-smacking challenge."
