Dentsu Webchutney wins social and digital mandate for Britannia Timepass

Digital agency Dentsu Webchutney has won the social and digital account for Timepass, a brand from Indian snack food brand Britannia. 

The hiring is part of a restaging of the brand to move from biscuits into salted snacks.

The announcement:

Dentsu Aegis network’s digital agency, Dentsu Webchutney, has won the social and digital mandate for Britannia Timepass, following a multi-agency pitch. The account will be handled out of their Bengaluru office.

Commenting on the development, Jayant Kapre, VP- Adjacencies Business, Britannia said, “Taking forward our vision of being a ‘Total Foods Company’, we are entering the salted snack market for the very first time with Britannia Timepass. It’s a cluttered market, filled with players from both the organized and unorganized sectors. Our content needs to break through the digital noise. The need of the hour was to find a partner that not only shared our vision for the brand but would further it with their own thoughts, points of view and ideas.”

Prashant Gopalakrishnan, Sr. Vice President, Dentsu Webchutney said, “We are talking about one of the most iconic companies this country has ever seen. The team is thrilled to partner with Britannia on this journey – one we hope is just the start of a longstanding relationship. The brand Timepass itself comes with tremendous inherent creative potential, and a client team that we already have built great synergies with.”
