dentsu elevates Imtiyaz Vilatra to lead Postercope India
MUMBAI: He is going to be the new poster boy of dentsu’s OOH initiatives. The agency has promoted Imtiyaz Vilatra to chief executive officer of Posterscope India.
In his new role, he aims to enhance Posterscope’s digital out-of-home (DOOH) and intelligent OOH (iOOH) offerings with a strong emphasis on data-backed, measurable outcomes for clients. He will report to dentsu media, south Asia, CEO Anita Kotwani.
With more than 25 years’ experience, Imtiyaz is known for his focus on innovative and impactful OOH campaigns. He plans to further integrate advanced technologies like augmented reality, 4D experiences, and AI to strengthen Posterscope’s capabilities.
By merging dentsu’s digital expertise with Posterscope’s established OOH foundation, his vision is to meet evolving client needs and expand the agency’s reach in both urban and rural sectors. This move aims to establish Posterscope as a leader in both traditional and digital OOH.
Says dentsu south Asia CEO Harsha Razdan: “Imtiyaz’s elevation is a timely and strategic move, enabling him to drive Posterscope’s expansion in experiential and below-the-line (BTL) divisions, strengthening our urban and rural reach. His leadership remains a vital link between strategy and execution, translating our goals into meaningful partnerships for our clients and communities. I am confident that under Imtiyaz’s continued guidance, we will not only meet but exceed the evolving needs of our clients, setting new benchmarks for excellence. His exceptional passion and deep industry insights will be pivotal as we navigate a path where innovation meets purpose, driving change that resonates far beyond the immediate.”
Adds Kotwani: “Imtiyaz’s elevation is a testament to his visionary leadership and commitment to redefining the OOH landscape. Under his leadership, Posterscope will strengthen its position within the dentsu ecosystem, embodying our ‘Onedentsu’ vision of unified, cross-channel marketing solutions. By seamlessly integrating OOH with digital, media, and experiential campaigns, Posterscope is set to deliver transformative, multi-channel experiences powered by dentsu’s advanced audience insights, driving precision and impact that elevate client outcomes.”
“The OOH industry stands at a transformative juncture, with technology and data insights reshaping how we connect with audiences,” points out Vilatra. “Posterscope’s future lies in harnessing AI, programmatic DOOH, and real-time analytics to deliver dynamic, measurable campaigns. Integrating dentsu’s digital intelligence into our OOH offerings enhances our capabilities and raises the value we deliver through deeper engagement, personalisation, and an integrated, ROI-focused approach.”
That’s exactly what ad spend-focused marketers are increasingly demanding. If things work out as planned, the trio of Razdan, Kotwani and Vilatra could well be raising their champagne glasses in celebration soon.

G-Shock launches GA-2100CM series with camouflage design
New sand and grey variants priced at Rs 10,995 each in India.
MUMBAI: Time just got a little more tactical and a lot more stylish. G-Shock has unveiled the GA-2100CM series, a fresh update to its popular GA-2100 line, bringing a camouflage twist to one of its most recognisable silhouettes. For the first time in the 2100 series, the watches feature G-Shock’s original camouflage pattern, subtly embedding the brand’s signature ‘G’ motif into the design. The move signals a shift towards more design-led storytelling, blending rugged functionality with fashion-forward detailing.
The new series introduces two colour variants sand (GA-2100CM-5A) and grey (GA-2100CM-8A) extending the model’s appeal across both streetwear and outdoor-inspired aesthetics. Built around the brand’s signature octagonal bezel and hybrid analogue-digital display, the watches retain a clean, modern look while adding layered visual depth.
Under the hood, the GA-2100CM continues to lean on performance. It features the Carbon Core Guard structure for durability, while maintaining a slim, lightweight profile suited for everyday wear. Functional elements include world time across 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch, countdown timer, LED light and 200-metre water resistance.
In line with evolving material choices, select components use bio-based resin, pointing to a gradual shift towards more sustainable design without compromising on toughness.
Priced at Rs 10,995, the GA-2100CM series is available across Casio India stores and online platforms.
As watch brands continue to balance utility with identity, G-Shock’s latest drop makes its intent clear, durability may be the legacy, but design is the new frontier.
