FCB Ulka got its nutrition for growth in 2017 through one of the big account wins of the year – Horlicks. And while it lost ZEEL, Tata Chemicals and Techno Mobiles, other account wins for the year included SBI Mutual Fund, Rooh Afza (and other Hamdard brands) and Tata Docomo Business Services.
While the agency lost its NCD for digital, Gerard Jayaranjan, there were plenty of new hires, specifically for the Horlicks team. A dedicated team was set up for the same.
Jyotsana Singh Kaushik joined to lead the account. Shalini Rao was appointed later in the year as head of planning for the product portfolio.
