Salomon Appoints DDB Paris as Global Strategic and Creative Partner

After an extensive six-month review involving four selected agencies in an in-depth pitch process, Salomon has chosen DDB Paris as its global communications partner to support its future growth plans.

Salomon, the outdoor and winter sports brand headquartered in the French Alps since 1947, intends to embark on a new chapter in its storied heritage. The brand endeavors to expand its influence from the mountains and connect with new sports audiences in more urban environments while retaining its leadership in the mountain and winter sports categories.

They are renowned for their strong strategic and creative competencies and eager to support our brand ambitions on a global scale. We are convinced DDB is a great fit for our teams at Salomon and can’t wait to get to work with them as we write a new chapter for our brand.”
