Sharing her views on the appointment of the new agency, Ms. Sakshi Diwakar, Marketing Communications Manager, The Claridges, said – “We were constantly struggling to get the perfect creative agency who breathes hotels/FnB and works like just the skin of the hotel. Took almost months to finally finalize Brand Catapult. It was like getting the perfect agency who would totally give shape to the client's imagination, in fact doing way better than what we imagine or expect. The bunch of crazy creative brains really is helping us to give our hotel the young and vibrant feel which it lacks. They understand the brand in and out and would independently drive the entire marketing of the hotel.”
