Windchimes Communications bags Yardley’s social media account
MUMBAI: Social media agency, Windchimes Communications, has been roped in by Yardley London to consult the cosmetic brand as it forays into social media.
Yardley is a brand of Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting.
Windchimes will assist the brand in setting up and managing its social media presence. Yardley’s ongoing association of the brand with leading actress, Katrina Kaif, will also be used by the social media agency to create a talking point for the brand online.
Social media will be utilised to communicate to Yardley’s online audience about the range of products available and also use it as a platform to create buzz for new launches. Yardley is also looking at encouraging trials for its products-which will be facilitated through social media.
Said Wipro Yardley Consumer Care business head Sriram Iyer, “It makes perfect sense for a heritage brand like Yardley to embrace new media, since one of our main objectives is to connect with a younger audience – who are increasingly online. Social media provides us with the apt platforms to create and further engage with our users. We are confident, Windchimes, with its considerable experience in working with brands across categories, will provide us with the right strategic inputs and execution excellence to make our social media foray a success.”
According to an official statement, Windchimes will leverage social media for Yardley London, with the aim to position it as a youthful brand while reinforcing the royal heritage. The agency will make use of platforms like Facebook and Twitter to reach out to existing and potential Yardley users and engage with them.
Windchimes Communications head maven Nimesh Shah stated, “We are very excited to be working with Yardley London on its maiden foray into social media. The brand comes with a very distinguished history and one of our key roles will be to take the brand into new media without losing the royal essence of the brand. By effectively using social media, we aim to introduce and create a connection for Yardley with new customers and to meet its business objectives.”

Aptronix unveils ‘Big & Beyond’ campaign, opens largest store in Hyderabad
Naga Chaitanya, Sobhita front push as retailer expands premium Apple experience
HYDERABAD: Aptronix has rolled out its most ambitious brand push yet with the launch of the ‘Big & Beyond Aptronix’ campaign, alongside the opening of its largest retail store in India.
The campaign features actors Akkineni Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala as brand faces, signalling a sharper focus on aspirational, experience-led retail as the company scales its presence in the premium Apple ecosystem.
At the centre of the rollout is a new 8,000 sq. ft. flagship outlet at Sarath City Capital Mall, now the largest Aptronix store in the country and among the biggest Apple Premium Reseller formats in India. The space is designed to offer immersive product discovery, personalised guidance and integrated service support, positioning the store as more than just a point of sale.
The campaign itself leans into themes of scale, ambition and accessibility, aiming to connect with a younger, increasingly design-conscious generation of Apple users. By pairing celebrity appeal with in-store experience, Aptronix is looking to deepen emotional engagement while reinforcing its premium positioning.
A key pillar remains its ‘Limitless Aptronix Exchange’ programme, which offers customers simplified upgrade paths, transparent pricing and wider access to Apple devices. The initiative has been central to driving adoption by making high-end technology more approachable for a broader audience.
Premium Lifestyle and Fashion founder & owner Sutinder Singh said the new store reflects a long-held belief that Indian consumers should have access to the best Apple retail experience without compromise. He added that the campaign’s celebrity faces mirror the brand’s core values of elegance, ambition and confidence.
Aptronix CEO Meghna Singh said the ‘Big & Beyond’ theme reflects how the company operates, with a focus on building a best-in-class retail experience. She noted that the Hyderabad launch and the campaign together signal Aptronix’s intent to set new benchmarks in the category.
With this dual push of scale and storytelling, Aptronix is not just expanding its footprint but also redefining how premium tech retail is experienced in India.
