Kinnect's first association with the brand was for a project three years ago. The agency has worked on several campaigns and multiple brands within the Asian Paints group. It is a wonderful transition to working on the master brand. Asian Paints already enjoys great brand sentiment, and Kinnect will help it continue to be perceived as a market leader.

Commenting on the account win, Rohan Mehta - CEO, Kinnect said, “It has been a pleasure working with the Asian Paints team thus far, and to have our relationship grow with them this way. They have bestowed a great responsibility on us - to be their custodians on digital - and we’re excited to take it on. We’ve devised campaigns like ‘Donate A Wall’ that have struck a chord with audiences across India and helped Asian Paints remain socially relevant. We look forward to continuing in this vein and doing category-leading work on digital”.
