Publicis Ambience & Ambuja Cement part ways

MUMBAI: Ambuja Cement and its creative partner Publicis Ambience have decided to mutually part ways.

“When we started our journey together, the goal was to set stage for Ambuja to be counted among India’s Top 10 brands. We all knew that this task can only be accomplished over many years. Nonetheless our Khali campaign did go a considerable way to move us towards the goal. Together we have celebrated that fact that this campaign won accolades from every national and international award – be it for creativity or effectiveness. However, as we assessed the way forward, we understood that we have differences in our vision for the brand and the category and agreed that it would be best if we parted ways at this point in time,” said Publicis India managing director Srija Chatterjee in a statement.

This mutual decision marks the end of relationship of almost four years in July this year between Publicis Ambience and Ambuja Cement.

“It was a fruitful partnership. Khali certainly was a new high in our brand building process. Not only that it locked strength with Ambuja inseparably, but also took the brand to a new level', said Ambuja Cement head of brand and marketing strategy Vivek Deshpande, adding, "However, going forward, we have mutually agreed to part ways to explore a different approach to branding.
