Daimler sarà uno dei top 10 Client di Publicis Groupe. Arthur Sadoun: non avremmo potuto iniziare il 2018 in un modo migliore

L’incarico è relativo a ogni mercato in cui Daimler opera direttamente (37 paesi tra cui il nostro), ad eccezione di Germania, Stati Uniti e Cina.

Ciò significa che tutte le attività di marketing di Mercedes-Benz in questi mercati, dalla pubblicità alla digital experince , ai data, al Crm, alla comunicazione dei concessionari – tutto tranne i media – saranno gestite dalla nuova agenzia integrata end-to-end. Il cliente desiderava un nuovo modello di agenzia per integrare i canali e mettere i dati al centro, sulla base del marketing journey.

Scrive Daimler in un comunicato:

“Alongside the local adaptation of the global and regional Mercedes-Benz campaigns in around 40 markets, the focus of the pitch was on increasing synergies for a more consistent look worldwide for the Mercedes-Benz brand on the digital platforms plus stronger dovetailing of central and local digital content. Publicis will set up the new agency Publicis Emil located in Berlin to align the brand and product content in the future specifically to the needs and requirements of the Mercedes-Benz brand.

The brand currently works mainly with three creative agencies for various societies. These are antoni in Germany and Europe, Merkley+Partners in the USA, and BBDO China in China.

Selection of the new agency was made on the basis of a standardised, uniform process involving all participating regions. In order to guarantee a fair and transparent process, Daimler’s internal Pitch Team was supported by The Observatory International, one of the world’s leading consultancy firms in the field of marketing and communication. The agency services presented were assessed according to uniform criteria and collated to form an overall result with the aid of a predetermined weighting key. For orientation during the entire process Mercedes-Benz also used the common guidelines of the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) and the European Association of Communications Agencies (EACA) on conducting pitches.

BBDO Worldwide has been responsible for adapting the campaigns in around 40 markets since 2007. The contract expires on 30 June 2018.
