NEW DELHI, INDIA — Continuing with its winning performance on new business wins, creative agency L&K Saatchi & Saatchi has notched up another high-profile business under its wings. The agency has won the creative mandate of Goodricke Group Ltd, one of the largest tea producers in India.
The agency won the business on the back of a keenly contested multi-agency pitch and will manage the full-service creative mandate for a range of products from the company under multiple categories.
Goodricke Group Ltd. is a name synonymous with quality teas and has around 29 tea gardens and manufacturing factories across Darjeeling, Assam, and Dooars. Some of the popular brands under its portfolio include Castleton, Roasted Darjeeling Tea, Khaass, and Goodricke Chai.
Commenting on the partnership, Goodricke Group VP & Head of Consumer Division P.T. Krishnan said, “Goodricke is a brand steeped in legacy.
