It was a multi-agency pitch held in Chennai, and the account is estimated at INR 14 crore. IBD India will be responsible for revitalizing the brand image of KC Milk.

KC Milk has a rich history that goes back 25 years when it was founded in the Dindugal District of Tamil Nadu. Since then, it has become a key player in the dairy market of Tamil Nadu and today has more than 10 Branch offices across various districts of the State.

Mr. S. Kannan, Chief Marketing Officer, KC Diary Products, said, “We are very happy to partner with IBD as they bring with them in-depth knowledge and understanding of the category, which is key for creating effective advertising and communication. The strategic and creative approach we have seen from IBD is outstanding. They have brought fresh insights and a new thinking, which we believe will give us the desired impetus.”

“KC is already a big brand in Tamil Nadu, especially so in the Southern part of the state. The company is planning to expand its presence in a big way and launch KC Milk & Curd with an integrated campaign,” he further added.

For the record, KC sells roughly 1.1 lakh litres of milk per day with the turnover of INR 200 crore. According to the company, by end-2020, the brand is expected to sell 5 lakh litres of milk per day. KC is also best known for its Curd, Ice Cream and Paneer products.
