The agency bagged the business after a multi-agency pitch, wherein it put forward the 'Quik India Movement' idea.

Following a multi-agency pitch, online classifieds company Quikr.com has awarded its digital mandate to FoxyMoron. With focus on social media, the agency will handle all digital creative work for Quikr.

The idea FoxyMoron pitched for the brand - Quik India Movement - found favour with Quikr before it handed the business to the agency. Going forward, the immediate online creatives will be based on this idea.

The idea is a fun take on the brand name and the key proposition of Quikr - to facilitate transactions quicker than other portals in the category. The focus will be to enhance the social media presence of the brand by highlighting this particular aspect and reinforcing that quicker is better.
