Glass Lions 2019: Ogilvy India shortlisted for Hamam waterproof sarees

Ogilvy India is the only agency from India to be shortlisted in the Glass Category: The Lion for Change at Cannes Lions this year. The agency’s campaign done during the Kumbh Mela earlier this year for Hamam soap from HUL, wherein they distributed waterproof sarees to women devotees at the Kumbh, has been shortlisted. 

The initiative earned a lot of praise from all corners in that it preserved the dignity of women as they took the dip at the Holy Sangam during the Kumbh Mela without having to worry about prying eyes.
