Young, yet empowered by multi-folds of experience in digital content creation, Newton Lanka turned heads and created a buzz when their names were called up five times at the recently concluded SLIM Digi 2018.

Still celebrating post event, Newton Lanka Ltd.

This is just the beginning of our journey and we are confident of becoming even better in what we do.”

Fine-tuning their skills and expertise with creative content-based Social and Digital Marketing, Newton Lanka also dabbles in Shopper Marketing, specialising on how to get FMCG brands to move off-shelf through concepts that create “talkability” across mediums such as TV, print, activation and radio. 

“Our specialisation is in ideating and creating effective ‘actions’ that prompt people to gravitate towards desired reactions; ultimately boosting brands with buzz and business, pull-factor and profit, conversations and conversions,” said Newton Lanka Creative Director Rushain Rodrigo, “Ultimately, we are creative agents of reaction.”
