Mumbai, November 2015: Marico has announced Bollywood heartthrob, Ranveer Singh as the new face and brand ambassador of Set Wet deodorants.
Set Wet, a brand synonymous with hair gels in India, had undergone a successful repositioning last year with the Sada Sexy Raho campaign. Following the success of the initiative, Marico has announced the signing of Ranveer Singh as the brand ambassador for the Set Wet deodorant portfolio who will now further drive the philosophy of ‘Sada Sexy Raho’.

Apart from being probably the most popular star in the brand target consumer, Ranveer also happens to live the brand philosophy of Sada Sexy Raho.

I think Ranveer & Set Wet are a potent mix with which we can create magic.”
