MUMBAI: Law & Kenneth has bagged the eBay India’s creative mandate.

eBay‘s annual media spends are estimated to be Rs 300 million.

The agency‘s Mumbai office will handle the business.

Wieden + Kennedy is the incumbent agency on the account.

Confirming the news to indiantelevision.com, Law & Kenneth chief executive officer and managing partner Anil Nair said: “We are extremely excited at having won the eBay creative duties and look forward to partnering with the brand.”

eBay India chief marketing officer Kashyap Vadapalli said, “Law & Kenneth impressed us with its understanding of the eBay brand, e-commerce insights, as well as the strong brands they have helped build.”

In the past, eBay has taken the traditional as well as online route for advertising. In 2007, eBay launched its first TV campaign, consisting of three 20-second commercials along the concept of ‘shop smart‘ through eBay India. These TV commercials were created by RMG Connect, the direct marketing arm of JWT.

In 2008, eBay used print, outdoor and radio media to expand its market. eBay‘s second TV campaign was released in December 2009 and the ad films comprising this campaign highlighted different offerings that eBay could deliver upon, such as discounts, safe payments, and a wide variety of products.

Around April 2011, eBay launched its ‘IPL Battle of the Fans‘ Facebook App. eBay also ran an IPL microsite to sell cricketing related merchandise and collectibles.

In October last year, eBay and Nokia India jointly introduced the eBay India Nokia App that allows shoppers access the website through their mobile phones while on-the-move.
