V-Guard is in the midst of one of its most ambitious projects – the repositioning exercise of the brand. Our communications agency will be partnering and working  with us intensively on this exciting exercise. We were also looking at our communications agency to be the extended arm of our marketing team and who would go beyond conventional advertising ideas and bring about refreshing marketing-oriented solutions to the table, which would add value to both our sales and marketing efforts. In R&D we found just that."

 

Kaustav Das, CEO, Ralph&Das, said, "V-Guard is an important win, Ralph&Das’ integrated DNA is honed to connect the dots between business needs, strategic vision and out of the box creative thinking and execution, this is the best opportunity we have to demonstrate that capability.
