On awarding the business to MagicCircle, Keshav Bansal, director, Intex Technologies, says in a press release, "Intex is one of the fastest growing brands in the consumer electronics space; having attained leadership position in mobiles, multimedia speakers, power banks and LED TVs apart from other products. Keeping in mind our plans to accelerate growth and presence across media platforms through varied campaigns this year, Hemant Misra was the absolute choice as our marketing communications partner."

He adds, "Being an industry veteran, Hemant doesn't need any introduction and has earned respect owing to his vast form of work and brand associations. We have worked with him earlier when he was heading Publicis India and so he understands the ethos and essence of Brand Intex completely.

We have always been treated as part of the team by the client and this motivates every member of my team to stretch both body and mind to do our best on the business."
