The Indian arm of direct sales company Avon has appointed media agency Chimp&z as its digital media partner following a multi-agency pitch.  

As part of its role Chimp&z will oversee the development of the brand’s identity online by developing innovative campaigns and strategies, as well as handling Avon’s social media activities and blogger collaborations.

Swati Jain, Avon Marketing Director, said, “We have seen Chimp&z Inc’s work in the past and appreciated their campaigns too. So, when they pitched us their ideas, everybody in our team loved them. We were very thrilled to get them on board as our digital agency and they have certainly proved their potential through this campaign.”
