Manish Bhatt, Founder Director, Scarecrow M&C Saatchi, said, “Though we have handled quite a few global brands at Scarecrow in the past, this win is special because this opportunity is the first since our partnership with M&C Saatchi last year. I have always believed that travel stimulates creativity and with Australia being a culturally rich destination, I am sure it will enrich our creative culture too.”

Richard Morewood, CEO, M&C Saatchi Asia, adds, “The work that M&C Saatchi Scarecrow is developing for Tourism Australia is a great example of why we’re so delighted to be partnering with them. The work is rooted in the strategic thinking from our Australian office, but brought to life brilliantly through local insights from the Scarecrow M&C Saatchi team.”

Nishant Kashikar, Country Manager, India & Gulf, Tourism Australia, said, “Indians today are traveling more than they ever used to. With Australia offering something for everyone, it’s a great place that we want Indians to keep on their vacation goals list. And we are quite confident that M&C Saatchi’s India office, Scarecrow M&C Saatchi, understands the travel, tourism and hospitality category well, and they will come up with exciting campaigns that will bring the much-needed boost for Indians to travel to Australia. Hoping for an exciting journey between us and them.”
