Dentsu Webchutney introduces ‘Bro’ster for smart drinkers
MUMBAI: Clubs, pubs and other F&B establishments have constantly tried their best to grasp the attention of their patrons in different ways. However, most experiences are soon forgotten once the night passes. And all that remains as a mark of a great night is an even greater hangover.
Cue in Morning Fresh- a safe and natural alcohol detox drink that gives you a shot at a fresh start the next morning. But here’s the thing. No one can estimate whether a hangover is in line before it’s too late- especially when we’ve had one too many!
This is why, Morning Fresh, along with its digital partner, Dentsu Webchutney, has created a ‘Bro’ out of the one thing that knows how you drink best: the Coaster. Dentsu Webchutney, in partnership with Morning Fresh, has designed the Bro’ster – the first-ever interactive coaster that holds your drink, helps you drink smart, and even cues in a hangover in real time! Much like a wingman, for your drink.
The Bro’ster is a pocket-sized entertainer with built-in load sensors that calculate your drinking data over a span of time and it throws up funny, flirty and sometimes sarcastic messages on its LCD screen, after every sip that you take.
Once you’re done drinking, the Bro’ster even plans to use the data received through your session to set customized rewards and offers. Think cab-rides for those that drank too much, to food coupons for those who’ve had very little, to bottles of Morning Fresh when the Bro’ster knows you may have a hangover.
“At Morning Fresh we are always trying to push the envelope to create an innovative and fresh experience for our customers. As a young brand, it is important for us to find ways to engage with our audience in a meaningful and relevant way,” says Mitali Tandon, Co-Founder of Morning Fresh.
“The brand promise of Morning Fresh and the entire Bro’ster experience were a great fit,” says Gautam Reghunath, Senior VP, Dentsu Webchutney. “Though the Bro’ster is still in its early stages, we can’t wait to explore its possibilities and develop it further. Internet of Things is an area we’re experimenting with for a lot of our clients through the Dentsu Webchutney Innovation Labs. The idea is to consistently try and create new, out-there experiences that can get brands and consumers to interact,” he adds.
“We wanted to ensure no one felt left out,” says PG Aditiya, Creative Director (Copy) at Dentsu Webchutney. “Alone or with your gang, the Bro’ster will surely make your night a memorable one.”
The way forward for the Bro’ster? Mitali says, “We’re starting with a few pubs and bars in Bangalore, and hope to scale it to serve more patrons. Additionally, it is exciting to see the role real–time data can play in the F&B industry.”

Liqvd Asia wins four mandates, adds Rs 35 crore pipeline
New clients across sectors signal strong start to 2026 for agency
MUMBAI: Liqvd Asia has kicked off 2026 on a high note, securing four new mandates that are set to add roughly Rs 35 crore to its future business pipeline.
The digital-first agency has brought on board a diverse mix of clients, including Origami, Kasturi Foods, Sama.live and Woodland, spanning consumer goods, regional brands, emerging platforms and established players.
Each mandate comes with a tailored brief. While the agency will handle integrated marketing communications for Origami, it will manage creative, social and media duties for Kasturi Foods as the brand looks to expand beyond its Odisha stronghold. For Sama.live, the focus will be on building brand narrative and enterprise credibility, while Woodland’s mandate centres on digital and social storytelling.
For Liqvd Asia founder and managing director Arnab Mitra, the wins reflect a deliberate shift in how the agency positions itself. He said the focus is on being an integrated growth partner, combining strategy and creativity to deliver long-term brand value alongside business impact.
Echoing this, Liqvd Asia business head Monish Sanghavi, highlighted that the new partnerships align with the agency’s intent to build scalable and structured growth roadmaps, where creativity is anchored in data and performance is closely tied to outcomes.
From the client side, Kasturi Foods sees the collaboration as a step towards national expansion. The company said the partnership will help it balance its regional legacy with a sharper digital presence as it reaches new markets.
With a growing roster and a pipeline that is steadily thickening, Liqvd Asia appears to be turning early momentum into a broader statement. In a crowded digital marketplace, the agency is not just adding clients, it is adding intent.
