How much PR does the humble thong need? Fashion driven thong brand Havaianas is about to reveal why thongs need PR after appointing Ogilvy-owned Pulse communications as its PR partner.

The agency will be charged with building earned media opportunities for the brand using bloggers, influencers and media.

Ogilvy PR’s group managing director, consumer, Richard Brett said: “The Pulse Communications team will be working to ensure we deliver the most innovative ideas and campaigns that best represent the Havaianas ethos.
