Focus bags creative duties for Nomarks
MUMBAI: Focus Circle, the creative and advertising arm of Focus, has bagged the packaging design and creative duties for the entire product range of Nomarks owned by Ozone Ayurvedics.
Focus Circle won the business following a multi-agency pitch. The incumbent agency on the account is RK Swamy.
Focus Circle national creative director Rahool Talukdar said, “In this highly competitive segment, it‘s important that a brand is able to connect with its target audience and evoke a conversation. This will lead to high brand recall and build brand preference. Today, the packaging design speaks just as much as the creative dialogue and it is great to have the opportunity to work on both aspects of this brand.”
The task entrusted to Focus Circle includes building brand awareness and preference for the Nomarks brand in the highly competitive and fast-growing skin care segment in India.
Talukdar said, “Working with Nomarks across their entire product line will be an exciting mandate as each specific product will need to project its own individual identity and create its own mind space, while ensuring it stays within the brand approach of the Nomarks brand.”
Ozone Ayuvedics chairman and managing director S C Sehgal said, “We have been aggressively introducing the market with a range of products across age groups and skin types, making it imperative for us to associate with an agency who understands and connects with the respective target group. We are excited to partner with Focus Circle and looking forward to their work for us to be able to create a distinct identity for our various products keeping in mind the essence of the NOMARKS brand overall.”

Telecom marketer takes charge of Mumbai circle with growth and brand focus
MUMBAI: Vodafone Idea Limited has promoted Vineeth Jayendranath to vice president, marketing head for the Mumbai circle, marking a key milestone in his career as the telecom operator sharpens its regional strategy.
In his new role, Jayendranath will lead marketing efforts across prepaid and postpaid segments in one of the country’s most competitive telecom markets. His mandate includes driving revenue growth, strengthening brand positioning, and deepening customer engagement, while also managing profit and loss responsibilities for the circle.
Sharing the update, Vineeth Jayendranath said, “Excited to share, I am starting my new stint as Vice President, Marketing Head for Mumbai circle at Vodafone Idea Ltd. Would like to thank everyone who has supported me in this journey.”
Jayendranath brings over 12 years of experience spanning telecom and IT, with a strong focus on customer value management and data-led marketing. Since joining Vodafone Idea, he has held multiple leadership roles, most recently serving as general manager leading customer value management and prepaid business across Gujarat, Maharashtra and Goa.
During this period, he handled large subscriber bases and multi-billion rupee revenue portfolios, while rolling out hyper-personalised campaigns and a “segment of one” strategy to improve customer retention and upgrades. He also championed a digital-first approach, pushing adoption of data services and unlimited plans through targeted, insight-driven initiatives.
Earlier, he worked with Idea Cellular Ltd in strategy and business intelligence roles, and began his career at Infosys as a systems engineer. A brief stint at Hyundai Motor India Ltd during his internship added early exposure to marketing strategy.
An alumnus of SVKM’s Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Jayendranath has steadily built a reputation for combining analytics with marketing execution.
His elevation comes as telecom players double down on circle-level strategies to stay competitive, and Vodafone Idea appears to be betting on data-backed marketing to keep Mumbai firmly in its corner.
