JWT Atlanta wins Pennzoil & Quaker State

Pennzoil and Quaker State announced today that they have named JWT Atlanta agency of record. Effective immediately, JWT will be leading brand strategy and creative development for both the Pennzoil and Quaker State brands in North America.

 

“JWT's strong global network and global efficiencies, combined with best-in-class teams in Atlanta, Houston, New York and London, made for an incredibly compelling offering,” said Chris Hayek, Director of Global Brand Management for Shell Lubricants. “The team demonstrated impressive strategic insight and true passion for our brand.”

 

“Shell is a very important global client for us and we are honoured to grow the relationship by adding Pennzoil and Quaker State to our roster,” said Bob Jeffrey, Worldwide Chairman and CEO, JWT. “This effort was one of the purest examples of how seamlessly JWT’s global and local teams work together to deliver best-in-class solutions for our clients.”

 

JWT Atlanta will be leading brand planning, brand strategy, social strategy and execution, creative development and production for both clients. New campaigns for both brands are slated for 2013.

 

“JWT Atlanta is energised to have these two amazing clients as a part of the agency,” said Perry Fair, Chief Creative Officer, JWT Atlanta. “They are both iconic brands with a rich heritage, and we are looking forward to a long and innovative partnership.”

 

The appointment expands the relationship between Royal Dutch Shell PLC, Pennzoil’s parent company, and JWT. The global Shell business, which includes Shell corporate advertising and Shell fuels and lubricants, is handled by JWT London, with JWT Houston handling Shell fuels and lubricants in North America. JWT Atlanta is also the agency of record for Jiffy Lube.

 

Media services for Pennzoil continue to be handled by MediaCom and were not part of the review.
