Dentsu International merges The Story Lab with C'Lab

Dentsu International has announced that it is merging its celebrity, influencer, and sports marketing division – C’Lab, with its global branded content division - The Story Lab (TSL) in India. 

 

Deepak Kumar, director, C’Lab, will lead the business in India as country head for The Story Lab. 

 

Adding these two agencies together is aimed at simplifying clients’ needs in the content space and leverage TSL’s footprint and IPs across the globe. The merged entity will operate under the TSL brand.
