A source close to the development has confirmed the news to afaqs!. HUL's spokesperson chose not to comment on the business move.

The company's OOH duties, till recently, were divided between Portland India, a part of Kinetic (the global OOH specialist arm of WPP) and LMG's Aaren Initiative. However, following this re-alignment, the entire business will be handled by the latter.

Aaren Initiative has managed to kick off the New Year on a great note, with this being its second big win this month. Earlier, it won Nokia's OOH business.

The agency also handles the OOH duties for other big-ticket brands such as Sony, Jockey, Tata Capital, Future Group, Mont Blanc, the UB Group, Raymond, CNBC-TV18 and Fever 104 FM.

For the record, while Aaren Initiative will now handle HUL's OOH duties, Mindshare handles its media duties. Omnicom Media Group handles the company's digital business.
