MediaCom has won the global AkzoNobel Decorative Paints account, extending its long-standing relationship with the world’s leading paint and coatings company by adding media planning and buying duties in Argentina, MENA and South Africa to their roster. AkzoNobel is the holding company of leading home and industrial decorative brands such as: Dulux, Sikkens, International, Interpon and Eka.
The account win follows a highly competitive 5-month pitch, covering all the the Decorative Paints division’s biggest spending markets including China, the UK, Indonesia and India.
MediaCom’s win was based not just on an existing relationship, which extends back to 2007, when it first began to work with the brand in Asia Pacific, but also for its strategic systems planning approach.
MediaCom’s innovative “Cultural, Tribal and Individual” framework will allow the agency, and the AzkoNobel team to better organise marketing communications and content, while enhancing the use of highly complex digital solutions.
“We’re thrilled to be continuing our highly successful partnership with AzkoNobel into its second decade. MediaCom prides itself on long-term relationships with its clients, allowing us to truly understand their businesses and offer compelling and effective solutions to their key challenges,” said James Marples, Global Account Director, MediaCom.
