It is a huge moment of pride as this is the first win for us as Wavemaker. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to this year.”

     

    Added Navin Khemka, Managing Partner, Wavemaker India: “Working with Perfetti, one of the largest confectionery manufacturers in the world, has been a great experience right from the start of this journey. We have together built iconic brands and continue to deliver unmatched media value for them.”

     

    Said Rohit Kapoor, Director – Marketing, Perfetti Van Melle India: “[The] Wavemaker (erstwhile Maxus) team has played a significant role in building our brands over the years. We are excited to share that our partnership with Wavemaker will continue after a comprehensive media agency validation process. Wavemaker has consistently demonstrated adequate capabilities to support us to achieve key business objectives, drive performance and innovation rigour.”
