Mother's geeks land Acer Ultrabook global launch

Mother’s geeks land Acer Ultrabook global launch

By Stephen Foster on March 22, 2012

Publicis Groupe’s number two Jean Yves-Naouri described modern advertising as ‘geek but deep’ the other day and ad agency Mother in the UK seems to have had the same thought. The agency has followed its appointment to handle handset company HTC around the world with another big global tech account, the launch of Acer’s Aspire [...]

Nielsen and WPP's GroupM combine for TV and online research juggernaut

Nielsen and WPP’s GroupM combine for TV and online research juggernaut

By Stephen Foster on March 20, 2012

Nielsen is the world’s biggest research operation, chiefly through its giant US TV contract, while WPP owns Kantar, the second-placed researcher. WPP also owns numerous media agencies under the GroupM banner. So both friends and foes will be intrigued (and, in the latter case, possibly alarmed) by the following announcement made yesterday: NEW YORK – [...]

Newly-appointed Carat opens 200-strong General Motors office in Detroit

Newly-appointed Carat opens 200-strong General Motors office in Detroit

By Stephen Foster on March 19, 2012

It’s one thing to win these whopper global accounts, quite another to make them work. Last year Aegis-owned Carat won the $3bn General motors global media account, mostly from Publicis Groupe’s Starcom but also from about 50 or so agencies handling bits and pieces across the world (Carat handled GM in Europe). The deal is [...]

Now WPP's Sorrell wants to buy a Big Spaceship

Now WPP’s Sorrell wants to buy a Big Spaceship

By Staff on March 19, 2012

Sadly it’s a Brooklyn-based digital agency rather than a rival to space-hopping Richard Branson. But Sir Martin Sorrell’s WPP, ever keen to add to its digital offer, is reported to have bid $12.5m for the Brooklyn, New York agency that numbers Adobe, HBO, Skittles, Victoria’s Secret and Land’s End among its clients. But there is [...]

Is the China agency market ready for Fred & Farid?

Is the China agency market ready for Fred & Farid?

By Staff on March 12, 2012

It seems entirely appropriate that Fred & Farid, the indie Paris agency 30 per cent owned by Havas chairman Vincent Bollore, is planning to set up shop in Shanghai in a former opium warehouse. It’s also not really a surprise that the enfants terrible are making a big song and dance now about something that [...]

Publicis Groupe heads to China again – this time to snap up two experiential agencies for MSL

By Stephen Foster on March 8, 2012

Publicis Groupe COO and China boss Jean-Yves Naouri (pictured) has been uncorking his cheque book again, this time buying two ‘experiential’ marketing agencies King Harvests and Luminous. King Harvest operates in a number of mainland China locations and its 100 or so staff work for Bosch, Haier, Sanyo and Siemens among others. Luminous has offices [...]

Aegis steps up China race with eLink digital buy

Aegis steps up China race with eLink digital buy

By Stephen Foster on March 5, 2012

Aegis Group, owner of the Carat and Vizeum media buying networks, is a force to be reckoned with these days and one of its most interesting aspects is its other business, digital agency network Isobar. In recent years the big traditional agency networks have succeeded in reining in digital independents by poaching their staff and, [...]

Can all-conquering Mcgarrybowen crack Europe as it takes over Dentsu agencies?

By Stephen Foster on March 2, 2012

Mcgarrybowen was the US agency of the year in 2011, winning a string of big accounts with its no-nonsense old-style Madison Avenue approach to business. These included Bud Light, Burger King, Sears, United Continental and sone brands from Kraft. The agency, owned by Japanese giant Dentsu and headed by 72-year old former Y&R veteran John [...]

It’s goodbye Euro RSCG, hello to Havas Advertising, Digital and Media from David Jones

By Stephen Foster on March 2, 2012

Havas CEO David Jones (pictured) has made his first major move since taking over from majority shareholder Vincent Bollore last year by ditching the 20-year old Euro RSCG brand name and restructuring the company into Havas Advertising and Havas Media with Havas Digital as a separate umbrella brand within Advertising. This presumably means the end [...]
