Django wins Eva’s digital mandate as brand eyes fresh chapter
Agency to lead content, social and influencer strategy for iconic women’s brand
MUMBAI: Django has won the digital mandate for Eva, the flagship personal care brand from TTK Healthcare, as the legacy label looks to sharpen its relevance among a new generation of consumers.
The appointment marks a calibrated reset rather than a reinvention. One of India’s earliest women’s deodorant brands, Eva is seeking to evolve its voice while staying rooted in the confidence-led positioning that built its following.
Django’s remit spans content strategy, social media management, campaign development, influencer collaborations and long-form brand storytelling, with a focus on driving recall and cultural resonance across digital platforms.
“Eva already has a strong personality and a loyal audience,” said Django co-founder Aashay Shah. “The opportunity lies in evolving how the brand speaks and shows up today, without losing what people already love about it.”
At TTK Healthcare, the brief reflects a broader push to modernise engagement as personal care consumption patterns shift online. “Eva has always been about making the everyday feel special,” said TTK Healthcare head of digital and ecommerce Arjun Siva. “Django understood that spirit immediately and brought ideas that feel confident, current and emotionally grounded.”
Founded in 2019, Django has grown into a mid-sized integrated digital agency, working across strategy, content, performance marketing and influencer-led campaigns. Eva, launched in 1998, remains one of TTK Healthcare’s most recognisable consumer brands, with a portfolio spanning deodorants, perfumes, roll-ons, lip care and talcs.

WPP appoints Guillaume Epstein as its global head of commercial
Publicis veteran to streamline pricing, contracts and client deals globally
LONDON: WPP has created a new global commercial leadership role and appointed Guillaume Epstein to lead it, according to media reports, as the company looks to simplify client deals and strengthen commercial operations.
In his new role as global head of commercial, Epstein is expected to oversee pricing structures, contract frameworks and client negotiations across markets. The move points to WPP’s growing focus on making its commercial approach more streamlined and consistent worldwide.
Epstein joins from Publicis Groupe, where he spent close to four years in senior leadership roles, including global commercial finance director and chief operating officer for Brazil. His work there covered financial strategy, operational efficiency and client profitability across multiple regions.
Prior to that, he held key roles across Asia Pacific within Publicis, including chief commercial officer for Apac and regional client finance director. During this period, he helped build regional hubs, standardise pricing models and manage complex, multi-country client relationships across markets such as Singapore, China and Hong Kong.
He also brings experience from Valtech, adding digital transformation expertise to his commercial skill set.
At Publicis, Epstein played a key role in developing multi-country rate cards, improving financial processes and creating training programmes around negotiation and pricing strategy. His work also focused on unlocking new revenue streams through digital and analytics capabilities.
The newly created role at WPP comes at a time when global agencies are under pressure to offer more transparent, efficient and scalable commercial models to clients.
With Epstein’s appointment, WPP appears to be fine-tuning its commercial engine, aiming to make client partnerships simpler, sharper and more aligned with evolving market needs.
