On being named the ‘Digital Agency of the Year’, Chairman and Group CEO, Wunderman Thompson South Asia, Tarun Rai, said, “I am immensely proud that we have won the Digital Agency of the Year Award from such a respected industry body, for two reasons.

The merger of JWT and Wunderman, and the formation of Wunderman Thompson a couple of years ago, had helped this transition, said Rai. “As we celebrate the second anniversary of Wunderman Thompson, this recognition gives me immense satisfaction since we competed, and won, against the top purely digital agencies, besides all the mainline ones. And second, that we have won this huge accolade basis the work we have done on PepsiCo India, a cherished and long standing relationship of over thirty years. The PepsiCo India marketing team has constantly encouraged us to create the same magic that we’ve created on traditional media over the years, on digital platforms. Their exciting and youthful brands gave us ample opportunity,” Rai added.

Senthil Kumar, Chief Creative Officer, Wunderman Thompson India, said, “It is a huge honour to win Digital Agency of The Year for work done on two of our biggest and most coveted brands at Wunderman Thompson; Pepsi and Lays. The fact that most of this work was done while the teams worked from home and collaborated across various locations in country remotely adds a genuine edge to the creative and digital potential of Wunderman Thompson India.”
