Mullen Lintas wins creative duties for PharmEasy

Following a closely contested multi-agency pitch, PharmEasy India has appointed their creative duties to Mullen Lintas Mumbai. The agency made the cut on the back of its robust experience with consumer-facing businesses and a comprehensive understanding of the consumer and the healthcare business.

Founded in 2015, PharmEasy is the largest pharmacy aggregator in India. They are in the business of helping users connect with local pharmacy stores and diagnostic centres in order to fulfil their broad medical needs. Currently, they cater to 22000 pin codes across the country while continually expanding their nation-wide presence.

Dhaval Shah, Co-Founder, PharmEasy, said, “We wanted a partner who can understand what we are trying to do and Mullen hit the nail on the head. They completely understood what our consumers want and hence we were extremely excited to work with them”

Rajev Shukla, Managing Director – Private Equity, Everstone Capital, said, “The team at Mullen Lintas is absolutely top class, and has been an excellent partner to the PharmEasy Team and us. Mullen has translated our brief into a brilliant creative campaign for the national launch of PharmEasy and we look forward to doing more great work with the team in the months and years to come.”

Amer Jaleel, Group Chairman and CCO, MullenLowe Lintas Group (pictured avove left) , said, “The cross-culture of e-commerce and medicines makes for a very interesting space to pitch a brand in. We like the questions this throws up – how serious we want to be? How value-conscious the brand needs to look? How can the brand be both quirky and trustworthy? All in all a lip-smacking challenge.”

Virat Tandon, Group CEO, MullenLowe Lintas Group (above right), said, “The category of online healthcare retail brands will see a lot of action in the years to come. We were inspired by the ambition and vision that the PharmEasy founding team has and are very excited to partner them in this journey to redefine the healthcare retail industry. We look forward to doing some exciting work together.”
