Mumbai, 18 July 2023: OMD, the world’s largest media agency network – part of the Omnicom Media Group, has won the media mandate for SUGAR Cosmetics following a competitive pitch. This partnership between the two brands will see OMD India handle the end-to-end media strategy for the leading cosmetic brand from the agency’s office in Mumbai.
