Welspun - a global leader in home textiles, has awarded its media duties to dentsu X – the data & tech-driven agency from dentsu India. The account was won following a multi-agency pitch and will be serviced from the agency’s Mumbai office.

As per the mandate, dentsu X’s talent pool will intrinsically focus on offering pioneering solutions to enhance the brand’s business outcomes. It will cater to the entire gamut of integrated media services in the Bed & Bath and flooring categories, overseeing media strategy, planning, and buying for Digital and traditional media. 

The agency’s purpose-driven media expertise combined with the network’s strategic foray into practices like Martech (big data, analytics, CRM, CDP) gaming, Omni Channel commerce, and content is certain to empower the brand to further build upon revenues.
