Dentsu Webchutney to handle creative for Goomo
MUMBAI: Dentsu Webchutney, the digital agency from Dentsu Aegis network, has been assigned as the lead creative agency for Goomo.com, an omnichannel, travel-tech company that operates across consumer, corporate and B2B segments. The account will be managed by Dentsu Webchutney’s Mumbai office.
Goomo.com is a new player in the already complex online travel agency category. While Denstu Webchutney’s mandate as the lead agency will include both online and offline campaigns, it will also involve building the brand’s positioning and awareness. The agency will work closely with Goomo’s branding and marketing team.
Goomo CMO Gaurav Khurana says, “Goomo is a young and an aggressive challenger brand in this hyper-competitive market. For us, it was imperative to find a partner who not only understood us as a brand but also shared the same vigour as us. An agile and strategic partner who is ready to shake things up in the travel domain. Dentsu Webchutney, India’s number one digital agency with its expansive expertise in digital is our partner of choice. The driven team behind the name and the strong leadership makes it an ideal choice.”
Dentsu Webchutney EVP and branch head Nishi Kant adds, “It’s an absolute privilege to have won the creative & branding mandate for Goomo. What excites us the most is that we have the opportunity to co-create the identity and positioning of the brand that resides in a particularly challenging category. It’s going to be a thrill-a-minute but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Both sides share a great rapport and we’re looking to partner together every step of the way as we prepare to change and challenge the norms of the category.”

Kelvinator launches ‘Summer Paused’ AC activation in Mumbai
Three day Carter Road stunt targets Gen Z with interactive cooling experience
MUMBAI: Mumbai’s heatwave met its match and briefly, even time seemed to freeze. Kelvinator has rolled out an on-ground activation titled ‘Summer Paused’ at Carter Road Promenade, turning a busy seaside stretch into a surreal, snow-dusted spectacle to spotlight its heavy-duty air conditioners. At the heart of the installation is a live performer suspended mid-motion, staged as a “frozen” figure amid artificial snow and icy backdrops. The visual contrast chilled theatrics against Mumbai’s peak summer does the heavy lifting, translating a product promise into something passers-by can literally see and feel.
The objective is clear: cut through seasonal advertising clutter and make cooling tangible. Rather than leaning on traditional messaging, the brand is betting on experiential storytelling to drive recall and social media traction.
The three-day activation is designed to be more than a static display. Interactive formats such as ‘Break the Freeze’, ‘Brain Freeze’, and ‘The Staredown’ invite visitors to engage directly, nudging them from spectators to participants. An Instagram-led mechanic further amplifies the effort, encouraging user-generated content and extending the campaign’s reach beyond its physical footprint.
The choice of location and format signals a sharp focus on younger, digital-first audiences Gen Z and millennials who frequent high-footfall urban hotspots and are more likely to share immersive experiences online.
Behind the theatrics sits a broader product push. Kelvinator’s latest AC range is positioned around smart technology, energy efficiency, and durability, tailored to increasingly unpredictable and intense Indian summers. But instead of listing features, the campaign opts to dramatise the outcome: cooling so effective, it can “pause” summer itself.
In a category where every brand promises relief, Kelvinator is trying to make that promise visible, one frozen moment at a time.
