Wrangler stretches your ad for offers
MUMBAI: Dentsu Aegis Network’s digital agency, Isobar India has collaborated with Wrangler to help the brand launch its latest collection, ‘Stretch Plus’ in India. As part of the launch, the agency has devised and executed a digital media campaign for Wrangler that focusses on engaging followers with the product’s latest feature, ‘Extra Stretch’.
In an age where brands are using banner ads on mobile devices to direct users towards discounts or generate other forms of marketing leads, Isobar India has created an interactive approach to engross consumers by extending the stretch feature of the product on the banner itself. Targeting users on touch devices, the agency asks customers to ‘stretch’ the product on the devise for a surprise offer. Every time they stretch the denim on the mobile banner, an offer pops up that leads them to avail discounts on the collection.
The campaign has already garnered a total impression of 2,618,948 with an Engagement Rate of 1.8 per cent. The number of vouchers/coupons that have been generated until now are 1,147. The same number of new users have also been added to the database. For the record, the campaign has been executed in collaboration with mCanvas Advertising.
Isobar India Vice President Suraj Nagappa says, “Our objective is to nudge the audience and make them experience the stretch feature and drive home the point, albeit in a non-preachy manner. We wanted to appeal to the viewer’s reason, and not just feeling. The brand positioning has witnessed a significant shift to adapt to the evolving consumer behaviour. The Stretch Plus campaign has rightfully delivered on the requirement of Wrangler’s new age consumers.”
Commenting on the campaign, Wrangler Marketing Head Rohini Haldea adds, “Interactive ads are a good way for brands to get consumers’ attention and engage with them in a way that is meaningful to the brand. With the interactive ad feature, Wrangler’s Stretch Plus campaign is aimed at creating a digital experience that highlights the product benefits in an engaging manner and incentivises the consumer to try the product.”

Komerz acquires Glassbox to launch creative commerce model in India
Brand storytelling meets AI-driven distribution as Komerz targets $345bn digital market
MUMBAI: London-headquartered commerce platform Komerz has acquired brand and marketing consultancy Glassbox, creating a single integrated system that blends creativity, distribution, and measurable sales.
The move introduces a new “creative commerce” model, combining AI-powered infrastructure, brand strategy, and performance measurement within one platform. By connecting upper-funnel brand building with lower-funnel conversion and repeat purchases, the combined entity aims to provide brands with a seamless growth engine.
Komerz Global CEO Ramesh Krishnamurthy said, “Creative commerce must operate across the funnel. Contextual content, data-led activation and distribution must function as one accountable growth engine.”
Komerz global COO Siddharth Shankar added, “Creative without distribution is theatre. Distribution without brand equity is discounting. Bringing both together lets brands build equity while driving measurable growth.”
Glassbox, founded in 2021 by Geetanjali Bhattacharji and Anil Nair, works across brand strategy, marketing transformation, and integrated communications. Bhattacharji said the integration reflects how “brand building must evolve from episodic campaigns to always-on, data-informed commerce frameworks.”
Komerz, valued around $330 million, operates across the UK, Europe, Asia, and North America. The acquisition will help multinational corporations manage complex global portfolios while enabling challenger and D2C brands to scale across India’s digital commerce market, projected to reach $345 billion by 2030.
With this deal, Komerz is strengthening its global “creative commerce” footprint, following its recent acquisition of US retail measurement firm Pathformance, and positioning itself at the intersection of creativity, commerce, and technology.
