    “We’re delighted with this new assignment. This further strengthens the relationship between Dentsu Communications and Panasonic and is a testimony to the great work done by Dentsu for Panasonic in India and the region,” said Rohit Ohri, Executive Chairman, Dentsu India Group and CEO, Dentsu APAC (South).

     

    After bagging the creative duties from the consumer electronics major, Simi Sabhaney, CEO, Dentsu Communications said, “We were assigned the task of developing the launch communication for Panasonic ventilation fans in India. Winning the creative mandate for Anchor Electricals is a very prestigious event for DCPL Mumbai. Panasonic is a global leader in fans business and would be one of the leading international entrants in the ‘Ventilation Fans’ category.”

     

    Takaki Oguri, Joint Managing Director Sales and Marketing, Anchor Electricals Pvt. Ltd. said, “Panasonic’s global expertise in the ventilation field will aid Anchor to unveil a host of innovative products, redefining the paradigms of indoor air quality focussed ventilation solutions. Presently we intend to launch some of Panasonic’s trendsetter products; later on we will actively focus on expanding the entire range. This will be a robust value addition to Anchor’s existing Ceiling Fans Portfolio.”

     

    Ashok Gangar, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Anchor Electricals Pvt. Ltd. said, “We used Dentsu’s expertise while commissioning the first “Panasonic LED Lighting Experience Centre” in Mumbai, last year. We are hoping to establish a niche trade channel for marketing these high-end indoor air quality focussed ventilation products with this affiliation.”

     

    “Exhaust fans are a low involvement category and the choice of the brand is mostly left to the contractors and interior designers, our attempt was to imbibe the concept of ‘ventilation’ versus ‘exhaust’ in the end-consumer minds. This struck an accord with the Anchor-Panasonic team as it was looking for an approach that was distinctive enough for Panasonic ventilation fans to establish themselves in the said category,” added Sabhaney.

     

    “We are happy to award the creative duties to Dentsu Communications as our promotion partners for Panasonic Ventilation Fans and hope to establish ourselves as a premium brand in the said category soon,” said Mr. Toshiki Itagaki, Director Fan Business, Anchor Electricals Pvt. Ltd. on awarding the creative duties to Dentsu Communications.
