McCann Launches Dedicated Marketing Services Agency for Vauxhall Motors

Today, Vauxhall Motors consolidated its marketing services account, appointing the newly launched McCann Velocity to oversee CRM, point of sale, print, aftersales and retail marketing.

The appointment will see McCann Velocity take on the fleet business currently held by incumbent agency Graymatter. The new multi-disciplinary agency, McCann Velocity, has been created specifically to offer Vauxhall Motors a dedicated agency team and will offer a truly channel neutral approach.

Simon Oldfield, Marketing Director, Vauxhall Motors, said, “As Vauxhall Motors and the car industry moves forward at a rapid pace, we need an agency partner beside us that will deliver campaign work from conception through to our retail network. McCann Velocity is a vibrant agency and will bolster our presence in the market. Vauxhall Motors has a long standing relationship with the McCann network, they successfully defended the account adding our fleet business to their remit. They achieved this by understanding and recognising our need for a truly integrated approach and the requirement of a one stop shop solution. We look forward to getting underway.”

Paul Dean, Managing Director, McCann Velocity, said, “We are thrilled that the McCann network will continue its long-standing partnership with Vauxhall Motors. McCann Central has delivered outstanding work for the brand over the previous eight years and with this comes an enormous level of insight and trust.

“McCann Velocity has been created to deliver the truly transformative change that Vauxhall Motors is looking for, ensuring that strategically and creatively all brand and tactical activity is delivered in an engaged and seamless way for Vauxhall customers.”
