FMCG major Dabur India is planning to consolidate its media planning and buying duties with a single agency.
The company’s media planning is presently handled by Starcom MediaVest Group and GroupM’s Maxus, while buying is handled by in-house agency Adbur.
A company spokesperson confirmed media reports, adding that Dabur was reviewing its media mandate with an intention to consolidate the same.
