While Nilon's was won after a competitive pitch, the rest of the accounts were bagged without any such process. All four accounts will be handled by the agency's Mumbai office.

Before moving to Network Advertising, the creative duties for Nilon's were handled by Mudra. As for TDN, Sonal Realty and KCP Cement, this is the first time that the brands are venturing into mass media communication.

Sunit Khot, vice-president, Network Advertising, speaks to afaqs! about the agency's immediate responsibilities towards these new clients. According to him, for Tikona, the mandate will be to expand operations on a national basis. "Plans to communicate product superiority through ATL (above the line) and BTL (below the line) communications including digital, are in the offing. For KCP Cement, there will be television communication in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, along with plans to support brand activity through outdoor and 360-degree communication," says Khot.

"For Sonal Realty, we have plans to build a high-tech Industrial Park at Wada near Mumbai called Solace Industrial City. All the work is related to brand identity and communication for B2B audiences," Khot further informs.

D B Murli, executive vice-president, Network Advertising, adds, "For Nilon's, based on the market potential, new product launches are being considered."
