IBD Secures the Strategic and Creative Mandate for “TOKRI.COM”

IBD, a Percept Company, has won the strategic and creative mandate of Tokri.com, a hyper-local grocery and daily needs’ delivery brand operating in Pune. Multiple agencies pitched for the account, with IBD emerging victorious, riding on its creative and strategic brilliance. 

Tokri.com is a Pune-based hyper-local delivery startup. It is a one-stop portal where fresh fruits, vegetables and groceries are delivered at your door step. The startup follows a hybrid model comprising of a marketplace and inventory. It sources grocery from distributors, wholesalers and neighbourhood stores to procure vegetables and fruits directly from farmers.

Winning this pitch entailed a thorough strategic understanding of consumer behavior and the operating market dynamics. IBD’s understanding of creating “rapid brand value” was put to use once again. IBD not only provided a differentiated strategy for Tokri.com, but also brought on board the fashionable and popular actor Shraddha Kapoor as brand ambassador to ensure credibility and avail the advantage of association with the brand. Despite the presence of big brands in the same domain across Pune, Tokri.com is already taking the market by storm, owing to the unique brand story and high credibility created by IBD.

 Mr. Neeraj Kansal, Founder, Tokri.com said, “IBD has added tremendous value in building our brand Tokri.com. They have been insightful and strategic, and delivered outstanding creative work. Having the right partner in today’s world of brand and business is critical for success. We are happy to have IBD as our communication partner, as they understand the nuances and pace of both the market and consumers. We are looking forward for some great creative work from IBD.”

In today’s hyper competitive age where market dynamics change at the speed of light, brands need a new breed of agencies that identify the right creative solution at the dynamic pace of the consumer demand. IBD is one such new age agency. Perhaps that is why, at IBD, many prestigious accounts have been won in the face of stiff competition from marquee names of the advertising world. In some cases, even when the competing agency has a global alliance working for it.
