Titan has been promoting the Helios chain by BTL events, newspaper, outdoor hoardings and radio advertisements. Raymond Weil president and CEO Oliver Bernheim plans to regularise the use of print media until the chain has a presence in other cities in the country. |

Initially, O&M did the creative work for Helios which are now being handled by a local Bangalore agency – Origami. The media buying is done through Maxus. Creative work for Noemia will be done at Switzerland, informed Bernheim. |
