Who are we?

Asiatic MCL, is a strategy first agency. Our difference is in our strategic approach. We spend time to
understand our clients needs, their products and brands, and gain an in-depth understanding of the
target consumers. Using this understanding we craft a clear strategy which will be anchored against
your business and marketing goals.

Asiatic MCL, is the oldest advertising agency in Bangladesh. And

we have been the pioneers and innovators in many
communication activities undertaken in the country for example
Asiatic made the first TVC and the very first beauty pageant on a
national scale. We were also the first full service agency in the
country.

We draw our strengths from our large network which is made of

16 companies, 5 autonomous divisions and 600 employees
making us a conglomerate who can provide their clients with a
one stop solution creative agency, events & experiential
marketing, media buying and planning, market research, content
development, public relations, and digital advertising.
Asiatic MCL, is led by a dynamic and experienced team who are known for their contribution to the
development of the marketing communications industry of Bangladesh. And over the years they have built
many iconic brands such as Lifebouy, Wheel, Closeup, Lux, Sunsilk, Harpic, Dettol, Red Cow, Pepsi, 7UP, Fair &
Lovely, Glaxose D. Recently we worked on brands like Airtel, Samsung, Nokia and many more.

In addition, our affiliation to JWT makes us stronger as an agency because our affiliation makes us part of the
largest international communications network WPP. Being a part of JWT we receive continuous trainings
from trainers of JWT Bangkok and other regions. We also have access to the JWT knowledge sharing hub and
library MyJWT.com, Jconnect, and Stephen Kings Library which keeps us abreast with all the latest
advertising trends in the world.

Through these 50 years of brand building we have gained unparalleled experience in all aspects of marketing
communications in Bangladesh. Which makes us one of strongest partners for a brand like Banglalink.
