Hungama Digital Services has been appointed as the digital media AoR (agency of record) for Timex India and its youth brand, Helix. Hungama Digital Services will be the exclusive agency working on the watch brand's digital platforms, both web and mobile. The agency will also manage social media for both the brands, media buying as well applications. 

Commenting on the win, Neeraj Roy, managing director and CEO, Hungama Digital, says, "With an experienced and award winning team here, we aim to leverage this opportunity for Timex towards a widespread exposure and an increased engagement in the digital space. Today, India is at the cusp of digital revolution with the advent of 500+ million consumers getting online in the next three-four years. We hope to offer integrated digital and experiential services to clients and prepare brands to connect, interact and transact with their customers."

Timex has been focusing to strengthen its brand presence on the digital platform and has identified this medium to reach out to its target audience directly as it provides measurable results.
