Fashion’s new PR playbook for India

As global fashion and luxury brands set their sights on India, international PR firms are also starting to enter the country by investing in more immersive storytelling and culturally nuanced conversations in addition to traditional PR coverage. Brands are interested in courting new audiences and activating communities that have been under-engaged, which has led to a need for PR partners in India who can communicate the values and stories of global brands in a crowded market. Now, PR companies are emphasizing “glocal” communication strategies, or approaches that combine the local dimension with the global. {Business of Fashion/paywalled}
