It’s no longer news that Agile Communications Limited, popularly known as ‘the agency of repute’ emerged as the official communications and creative agency for Mandilas Group Limited, after a keenly contested pitch earlier in the year, but the news is, Agile Communication, has again proven its mettle, as a communications powerhouse.

The agency has launched a resounding corporate communications campaign on behalf of her newly acquired client, Mandilas Group Limited.

The campaign which comes as a refreshing and exciting change for the brand, rides on the Group’s 70th anniversary which was celebrated on the 12th of May, and also serves as a great opportunity to reintroduce the brand and its lifestyle philosophy to the emerging young and dynamic audience.

The Mandilas Group Limited campaign we hear, will be rolled out in phases, and will kick off with a Website re-launch and a YouTube page launch, which according to top officials of Agile Communications Limited, will give the brand a facelift from the usual, to be followed with major digital penetration campaign and brand activation.

As part of this revival and commitment, the brand recently engaged in a CSR drive, donating Air Conditioners to major COVID-19 isolation centres.

Also in the works is a Corporate TVC which highlights the brand’s story of resilience and commitment, carefully weaving it to speak to current realities: Other platforms to lookout for would be massive deployments include press, lampposts, BRT, Radio sponsorship, amongst others, all with an overarching intent of resonance and relevance to the desired audience.

Speaking further on what he hopes to achieve with the campaign, the MD/CEO of Agile Communications Limited, Mr. Rufai Ladipo, commented that “There is great heritage and strength in the Mandilas’ brand and the agency is thrilled to share the brand’s story with the audience”.

He also noted that by teaming up with relevant stakeholders, the agency is poised to enhance the brand’s presence and awareness with exciting new creative work to highlight Mandilas’ unique experiences.

Mr. Rufai Ladipo who is a past president of Association of Advertising Agencies of Nigeria (AAAN), also had this to say about the synergy between the two organizations, "Agile Communications Limited is a fully Nigerian-owned Marketing Communications Services Agency committed to building brands across Nigeria and Sub-sahara Africa. 

"Our competence spans across advertising, strategy, design, brand activation, media buying, consultancy, public relations, digital communications and environmental branding. And Mandilas Group Limited is a lifestyle solution brand established in 1950 offering an array of services with focus on mobility and cooling solutions.
