“We are pleased to partner with Adfactors PR to drive the Mercedes-Benz India communications strategy and make the brand more engaging and relevant to all our existing and potential customers,” said Martin Schwenk, MD & CEO, Mercedes-Benz India.

Madan Bahal, co-founder and managing director of Adfactors PR, said “The opportunity to work for an iconic brand like Mercedes-Benz that is best known for its vehicles, which are a rare blend of luxury, sportiness & performance, represents an exciting opportunity for the Adfactors family. Our team is determined to drive a positive impact through compelling PR campaigns for the brand.” 

The account will be serviced by teams in Mumbai and Delhi, with the required domain expertise of the auto sector.

Mercedez-Benz has an estimated 40% share of the luxury car segment in India, making it the market leader. The auto sector as a whole is facing challenges, however of disruption and declining sales. The iconic car maker recently launched BS-VI compliant Long Wheelbase E-Class sedan in India.
