Pumpkin to deliver Pizza Hut ideas online
MUMBAI: Team Pumpkin, a leading digital marketing and PR agency, has won the digital marketing mandate of one of the leading casual dining and delivery restaurant chain, Pizza Hut.
The digital marketing responsibilities will include online reputation management, social media management and digital creative services for Pizza Hut’s Indian business.
As Team Pumpkin graduates towards winning more global clients, bagging the Pizza Hut (voted as most trusted brand for 11 years in a row) mandate is another feather in its cap.
Team Pumpkin creative head Puja Nathani said that their aim would be to make sure that Pizza Hut trust was maintained and it continues to engage with the young audience in the digital space.
Team Pumpkin co-founder Ranjeet Kumar said their strategy revolved around capturing micro-moments for the youth and expressing them through their digital assets.
