Earlier Storyboard18 broke the news of the fast food brand’s creative mandate going up for grabs, with top agencies participating in the pitch to get the business in the capital, Delhi.

With 1000+ restaurants in the country, KFC has evolved dynamically with the changing consumer landscape since it entered India over 2 decades ago. The brand has been focused on deepening its relevance while retaining the distinctiveness and craveable taste it is known for globally.

Aparna Bhawal, Chief Marketing Officer, KFC India and Partner Countries, said “Over the years, KFC India has created many clutter-breaking campaigns along with our long-standing partners at Ogilvy India. The team at Ogilvy has been monumental in creating work that deepened consumer love for KFC over the past decade. It has been a fantastic journey, we thank them for their invaluable contributions and look forward to continuing our relationship as thought partners.”

Speaking on FCB India’s appointment, she said, “The team’s unique, fresh perspective will help us elevate brand presence and drive further engagement with consumers. We’re looking forward to working with the team on unlocking new opportunities and creating disruptive, new-age communication to recruit the next gen KFC loyalists.”

Dheeraj Sinha, Group CEO - FCB Group India & South Asia said, “We are so excited about this partnership. Because it shows tremendous faith that team KFC has put in our thinking, creativity and energy for the brand. This is a great opportunity to build the next phase of success for the KFC business in India. It’s a great milestone for the story that we are building for FCB. Together, we look forward to creating magic.”
