Bandhan Bank has appointed Dentsu Creative Isobar as its creative agency partner following a multi-agency pitch. The agency has been tasked with leading the bank’s brand strategy, creative development, integrated campaigns and storytelling initiatives.

Under the mandate, Dentsu Creative Isobar has worked closely with Bandhan Bank to develop its brand voice and create campaigns designed to improve brand consideration, engagement and long-term affinity.
