Through this mandate, we wish to bridge the gap and build sustainable engagements with the core audience.”
Over the years, Focus has created numerous TVCs, print ads and a large support of in-store activities. This is the first time that Finolex is venturing into the digital media space. The key mandate for its agency would be to concentrate on building the brand awareness along with regular engagement with the target communities.

Together with Focus Media 360 degrees (Media), Trinetra Focus Communications (Digital) and Focus Circle (Creative and Advertising) forms an integrated media agency that truly believes in building brands holistically from inside out.
