Celebrated Indian cricketer, Smriti Mandhana, has now been appointed as the new face of Wrangler, the global denim brand. The appointment was formally announced by Ace Turtle, Wrangler’s exclusive licensee in India.
The sports youth icon will actively feature in Wrangler’s multi-channel marketing campaigns and initiatives, paving the way for Wrangler’s major expansion planned for FY24. The endorsement is seen as a stepping stone for both parties involved. The company expects to fuel its growth with Mandhana’s wide-ranging popularity, while the cricketer resonates with Wrangler’s timeless denim craftsmanship, echoing her personal style and beliefs.
