Danone has appointed global social media agency We Are Social to work across its evian®, Volvic and BADOIT® brands in the UK.

We Are Social will manage the day-to-day running of community engagement programmes on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest and will work alongside the company’s other agencies to support brand activity including product launches, sponsorships and creative campaigns across all platforms.
Pam Pines, marketing director at Danone Waters (UK & Ireland) Ltd said: “We Are Social blew us away with their approach. Their vision, creativity and strategic thinking showed us they are not just well versed in social media; they are setting some of the biggest online trends today.
“evian® and BADOIT® sponsor some of the most exciting events of the year and we had great success in 2012 with our Twitter and Facebook evian Ball Hunt. For Volvic we are really looking forward to using digital to bring the concept of Volcanicity to life, and build on the fantastic social media success we had this year with the Volvic megabrand. We are so excited to work with best social brains in the business to set a new worldwide standard in social media marketing.”
