Litmus, a contemporary marketing communications agency, has achieved notable success at the SLIM DIGIS 2.6 awards, securing seven accolades for campaigns developed for clients such as PickMe, Vision Care, Marmite, Glow & Lovely, and Knorr. These awards acknowledge the agency’s focus on cultural insights rather than mere surface-level localization in their marketing efforts.
For Litmus, effective marketing is rooted in a deep understanding of people, encompassing their cultures, habits, languages, and values. The award-winning campaigns exemplify how this approach manifests across various categories.
For instance, the PickMe campaign titled “Ride That Redefined Mobility” transformed the common challenges of commuting into engaging, relatable stories across multiple media platforms, resulting in two awards. The Vision Care initiative, “Embracing Culture,” transcended simple translation by incorporating the dialects and cultural subtleties of the Northern Tamil and Eastern Muslim communities, earning recognition for the Best Use of Creative Content. The Marmite campaign, “Eat. React. Repeat.,” featured personalities like Anudi, Ashanya, Sasha, Damith, and Gangulee, effectively integrating a well-known FMCG brand into modern food culture, which garnered two awards. Glow & Lovely’s “It’s Purple for Nallur” celebrated Nallur as a cultural moment by blending content, color, personalities, and an on-ground activation. Finally, Knorr’s Ifthar campaign emphasized themes of sharing, family, and togetherness, moving beyond just food.

The consistent philosophy across these campaigns emphasizes the importance of understanding cultural contexts, identifying human truths, formulating impactful ideas, and ensuring that these ideas resonate with the audience.
The recent DIGIS accolades come on the heels of a successful year for Litmus, particularly in terms of effectiveness, as evidenced by their collection of 11 Effie awards for campaigns related to Sunsilk, PickMe, Vaseline, and Knorr. This highlights that the agency’s culture-driven concepts are not only creative but also effective in driving business results. Together, these awards reflect the agency’s recognition in both creative and effective aspects of modern marketing.
Established in 2017, Litmus is a contemporary marketing communications agency with a digital focus, catering to both local and multinational brands. The agency has heavily invested in local insights and specializes in culturally relevant communication, while also leveraging global technologies and best practices through partnerships with multinational clients.
For Litmus, regional communication is more than just translation; it involves developing ideas that resonate within the local context and language. The agency produces its work in native areas, tapping into a diverse talent pool across the island, particularly from the North and East.
Ultimately, for Litmus, these awards symbolize a larger goal: to help brands enhance their relevance in a market as diverse and culturally rich as Sri Lanka.
