As India’s leading integrated travel services provider and the most respected brand in travel, we at Thomas Cook (India) have embarked on an ambitious programme of total transformation  of existing businesses as well as pioneering some very exciting innovative new ventures. And as part of this larger exercise, we identified (post evaluating several creative agencies as part of a pitch process) L&K as the kind of young, open, proactive and nimble agency partner we need. We are certain that our legacy as innovators and pioneers in the travel and payment solutions business, blended with L&K Saatchi & Saatchi’s originality and idea-driven culture, will herald a strong, mutually beneficial partnership for both organisations.”
