DigitasLBi has announced that it has been appointed as the retained digital
agency for Kellogg across EMEA. The announcement follows a competitive pitch.
DigitasLBi will now partner with Kellogg’s to
develop and implement a category-leading digital marketing strategy for all
brands across key EMEA regions.
In line with Publicis Groupe’s Power of One
approach, and in order to demonstrate the need for a seamlessly integrated
agency team with data and digital at its heart, DigitasLBi chose to pitch for
the Kellogg business in partnership with its current creative agency Leo
Burnett. DigitasLBi will now work alongside Kellogg’s other agencies to deliver
a fully joined-up marketing approach for its brands.
The deal is the latest example of Publicis
Groupe agencies joining forces to pitch and win new business, and follows the
recent appointment of a DigitasLBi-led Publicis Groupe agency team to
Shangri-La’s global digital business.
Chris Nolan, Media & Digital Director, Kellogg’s EMEA, said: “DigitasLBi demonstrated a deep understanding of how digital can drive
our business forward. They understood the need to put data at the heart of what
we do and to drive change in how we connect with our consumers into the future.
Their approach to integration is simple and compelling, and we believe our
brands will benefit from it immediately”.
Lianne Dixon, International Client Service Director, DigitasLBi added: “We couldn’t be happier about having the opportunity to work
with Kellogg’s, and we’re delighted that our open and collaborative approach to
pitching was such a success. We’re looking forward to working as part of a
seamless agency team to support Kellogg’s on their digital journey.”
