Educomp Schools appoints Vizeum as media AoR

The business will be handled from Vizeum's Delhi office.

Aegis Media's Vizeum India has been awarded the media duties for Educomp Schools. The move is apparently part of the brand's growth strategy. The business will be handled out of Vizeum's Delhi office.

The agency will now handle Educomp Schools' media mandate in India to identify the appropriate communication programmes, and deliver the same in a cost-optimal manner.

Addressing the appointment of Vizeum, Partho Dasgupta, president, Educomp Schools, says in a press note, "We are happy to confirm the appointment of Vizeum as our strategic media partner. Its overall result-oriented approach is quite unique and interesting."

Dasgupta informs that Vizeum's mandate includes helping Educomp overcome some of its current business challenges.

S Yesudas, managing director, Indian subcontinent, Vizeum, comments on the new account win. He says, "We welcome Educomp into the Vizeum family. It is a challenging assignment, and we are fully geared with the right delivery solutions."

He adds that the agency looks forward to address the business issues of the client as its extended brand team. "We thank the Educomp management for considering us worthy to partner them," Yesudas says.
