With this change, the agency will now be back under the direct charge of Sidharth Rao, CEO, dentsuMB Group. Sidharth, founder of dentsu Webchutney, will front the agency’s talented leadership team. Gautam and PG will continue to work with Sidharth through this period to ensure a smooth transition for a team that has broken all records nationally &amp; internationally as India’s most successful creative agency over the last few years. Commenting on the news, Sidharth Rao, founder of <keyword id="12348411" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="dentsu-webchutney-ceo" source="Orion">dentsu Webchutney &amp; CEO</keyword>, dentsuMB said, “Gautam &amp; PG have been the two most defining hires in our history. As a founder, you want your people to find their calling at the company you build, and the legacy the two of them leave behind is the best possible example of this. From joining at entry-level positions in 2010 and 2012 respectively, and rising to the very top through hard work, passion and just simply being the best in the business at their jobs. It’s a story that makes me believe that we’ve created an organisation where anyone can shine. And now, they have a chance to do it for themselves as creative entrepreneurs.” “There is a lot that we at dentsu Webchutney owe them but none more so than the culture they’ve created for us all to thrive in. Business, clients and talent-wise Webchutney today is at its strongest position ever. Today, we celebrate their leadership. They’ve also assembled an outstanding leadership group, an army of superstars across all levels, all of whom who give me and the rest of dentsu’s management immense confidence in how we will march forward as a company,” Rao added. <keyword id="12348412" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="gautam-pg" source="Orion">Gautam &amp; PG</keyword> said, “There is no other agency or network in the country where we would have had the chance to build our careers like we have at dentsu and at Webchutney. We’ve spent nearly 90% of our careers here, so moving on is not a decision we’re taking lightly. Our personal views of what success, failure, and everything else in between looks like have been shaped at Webchutney and the people that we’ve had the privilege of working with &amp; leading here. We’re so proud and thankful for how it’s all panned out.” “As for the future, we’re more excited than ever about this wonderful business and have a few ideas germinating in our heads—ones that we get to build out. But for now, we’ve got a few more months left in this dream job, and we’re just going to try and maximize every minute of it. There are so many exciting new pieces of work launching over the next few months, some of them possibly the best work we’ve ever had the chance to be a part of. The best years of Webchutney are ahead of it and we’ll be cheering from the very front,” they added.

It is for the second year in a row that a digital creative agency has emerged as the most awarded Indian agency at Cannes. The agency won 3 Silver and 2 Bronze for ‘The 8-Bit Journo’ campaign, 1 Silver for the ‘World’s Most Reported Trailer’ and a Bronze for Swiggy’s ‘The Better Half Recipes’ campaign, making 2021 Webchutney’s best year so far. This victory didn’t come as a surprise to Team Webchutney, who were quite optimistic about seeing this kind of reaction at Cannes. While the team wishes that they could send all of their work to Cannes, they just have a simple filtration process: gauge the reaction at Indian awards and send work that you firmly believe in. What’s interesting is that Dentsu Webchutney has secured shortlists and won Lions for the same clients, Swiggy and <keyword id="3586025" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Trigger-Happy-Entertainment">Trigger Happy Entertainment</keyword>, two years in a row and as PG Aditiya says, this is his biggest feat.

They told us how the entire agency shares the desire to keep leading the charts and aims to double down on their market differentiation, which is creativity.

Cannes 2021 winners: Dentsu Webchutney on topping the charts and goals for next Cannes Lions

<ul><li><keyword id="2805202" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dentsu-Webchutney">Dentsu Webchutney</keyword> has onboarded a new client and it is, wait for it, Dentsu Webchutney!</li><li>The agency will launch a series of brand films for its client, Dentsu Webchutney.</li></ul>Dentsu Webchutney has onboarded itself as its agency on record and we are wondering what did the pitching process look like? Did Dentsu Webchutney reject its own ideas at first because "Wo feel nahi aa raha," did they roll their eyes at themselves after seeing their budget for their 'big idea' or did they request themselves to blow up the logo after an umpteenth amount of changes in their copies because ‘the logo is too small’ or did they simply go easy on themselves? From Dentsu Webchutney's blog, all we know is that "the pitch process took years and now they are set to launch a series of brand films for the agency brand after a multi-team pitch." They have clearly taken the phrase 'be your own boss' too literally. Here's how we think the pitching process would have looked like: <div type="image" title="download (2)" msid="81547946" hostid="261"></div> What would they call their weekly Zoom Calls with the client? <div type="image" title="Dentsu calling Dentsu" msid="81548262" hostid="261"></div> It’s debated how much agencies should brand themselves outside of their work or their clients but Dentsu Webchutney is there to challenge this problem. Afterall, who can be your biggest brand ambassador if not yourself? It's like Dentsu Webchutney is the only agency in India that is doing ‘adulting’ right because it has learnt how to take care of its own problems. Aatmanirbhar much? The agency launched a Request For Proposal (RFP) in early 2019, with a clear brief to tell its story - and not unlike most pitches, close to two years later, the results are finally out. Surprise, surprise on who won it! Dentsu Webchutney has enlisted Dentsu Webchutney as its creative agency, with an all-star team leading the charter. To begin with, the agency will launch a series of brand films, focusing on what happens behind the scenes of its path-breaking work. With this win, Dentsu Webchutney (the client) joins Dentsu Webchutney’s (the agency) roster of consequential clients such as Flipkart, Uber, Swiggy, Tinder, IKEA, ITC, The Hershey Company. In their new role as the client, Gautam Reghunath, CEO, Dentsu Webchutney and P.G. Aditiya, NCD, Dentsu Webchutney, released the following statement… “Agility, synergy, innovation and all the buzzwords in ad-land have been achieved at our agency over 2020. We’re now hungry for more (buzzwords). Truth be told, the pitch process took years and was long and winding. Plus, we already kind of knew which agency we were going to go with at the get-go but that’s beside the point. Getting India’s favourite creative agency on board to launch a campaign for us is a massive privilege. It was evident that they GET us like we GET us. Almost like we’re the same people. It was a no-brainer to launch with their pitch creative itself, which began with Bengaluru and will eventually expand to include Mumbai and Gurgaon as well. This partnership feels like decades in the making (22 to be exact) — we couldn’t think of a better agency partner.” <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Dentsu Webchutney will also be Dentsu Webchutney’s first client in the creative agency category. Will their lack of experience be a negative?" text="Dentsu Webchutney will also be Dentsu Webchutney’s first client in the creative agency category. Will their lack of experience be a negative?">Dentsu Webchutney will also be Dentsu Webchutney’s first client in the creative agency category. Will their lack of experience be a negative?</cmsannotation> A senior at a top mainline agency said it did feel like a risk for Dentsu Webchutney to onboard a “digital-first” agency to build the brand, considering how little digital agencies understood brands &amp; brand building. And that strategic thinking like this needed some gray hair. Once again, not unlike most pitches it took almost two years post the footage was originally shot to see the first real piece of work from the agency. Nevertheless, thrilled about their success, Reghunath and Aditiya once again released the following statement, this time on behalf of the winning agency &amp; apparently, while dyeing their hair gray: “Here’s the thing about Dentsu Webchutney: there’s a brand side to the agency with so much untapped potential it would have been silly of us to ignore. Making the brand synonymous with its people is our agenda. There was no better time after their recent win at Spikes Asia as Indian Agency of the Year. They also seemed like clients who take their work very seriously but not take themselves too seriously — which always helps create great work. Personally, we cannot wait to claim all the credit for this upcoming brand campaign that we had just about a 1% role to play in.” Everyone else at the agency &amp; the brand’s side released the following statement: “While our CEO and NCD have a bit of fun, in all seriousness the films are unscripted footage from the agency’s office floor, where you’ll encounter raw scenes from Dentsu Webchutney’s people. Shot over early 2019 and interspersed with other employee-shot footage, it covers the highs, the lows, and the joys of working in advertising. It also features Webchutney alumni we love and is directed by one too. It’s a call to the next generation of creative talent to express their most vulnerable selves in the process of creating. The campaign will roll out on the agency’s <a href="https://instagram.com/webchutney">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/webchutney">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/27226/admin/">LinkedIn</a>, and <a href="https://facebook.com/webchutney">Facebook</a> first. Watch. Enjoy." Now we are waiting for the client (Dentsu Webchutney) to award Dentsu Webchutney as the best agency.

Several health institutions have run out of beds and oxygen supply and have kept the patients on a long waiting list. Our social media feeds are full of appeals for help, looking for plasma donors, oxygen concentrators or ICU beds. As India’s healthcare system continues to be under pressure, citizens have taken to Twitter to help each other out during these testing times.

The company will continue to leverage its advertising and brand voice responsibly to increase awareness on health, safety and hygiene measures among consumers and the community. FMCG giant Amway is donating US $1 million (approx. Rs 7.50 crores) to support the COVID relief efforts.

It is donating the collected funds to Help Uday Foundation to provide Care Kits to Fight Coronavirus and Donate Dry Ration to families struggling with hunger in Covid Second Wave.

Indian corporations The Tata Group announced that it is importing 24 cryogenic containers to transport liquid oxygen and help ease the oxygen shortage in the country. Its subsidiaries like Tata Steel are also supplying 200-300 tons of Liquid Medical Oxygen daily to various State governments and hospitals.

A 100-bed facility is being created at Honda’s warehouse facility in Manesar in Haryana and another 50-100 bed facility at the Government Girl School in Tapukara, Rajasthan. These temporary COVID-19 care centers are expected to commence operation from May 17 onwards. Similar isolation centers are being explored in other locations.

Last but not the least, Reliance Industries is donating 100 tonnes of oxygen to worst-hit COVID states in India.
