Coca-Cola chooses McCann as agency partner for localizing creative work in Central and Southern Europe (CSE)

Wien (ots)

The Coca-Cola Company's Central and Southern Europe
(CSE) business unit has appointed McCann as the creative agency to
work with the 23 countries* that comprise the business.  The move
will enable the CSE business unit to operate with greater speed,
scale and simplicity across multiple countries.
The decision was made after a thorough review, and follows the
creation of the CSE business unit earlier this year. The move will
enable Coca-Cola to identify synergies across the region and allow
international campaigns to be localized faster, more effectively and
more efficiently. The range of services to be localized include
adaptations of TVCs, billboards, radio, and graphics mainly.
Because of the need for a network partner to service the entire
territory, but which also has strong local operations, only two
agencies were invited to tender - McCann and Publicis, both of which
have long standing relationships with Coca-Cola.  Both agencies
showed strong competencies and a high level of creativity. The
decision to appoint McCann was based on its performance against three
criteria:  creative excellence, agency structure and costing.
"I would like to thank both agencies for their hard work and
excellent proposals", said Roel Annega, Marketing Director of
Coca-Cola CSE. "It was a close contest, but overall we felt McCann's
proposal was the most compelling. We're looking forward to working
with them to implement marketing of the highest quality that will
drive the growth of our business in CSE in the years ahead," he
added.
Publicis will continue to work for Coca-Cola CSE as it remains one
of the agencies on the company's roster for the central production of
creative.
The Coca-Cola CSE account will be led by Pedro Pina, Senior Vice
President, EMEA Regional Account Director at McCann.  He commented,
"We are excited to continue to strengthen our bonds with Coca-Cola in
Europe and are particularly excited to welcome back important markets
like Italy, Greece, Austria and Bulgaria into our area of
responsibility. We strongly believe that scale, efficiencies and
creativity can all be part of the same successful equation."
McCann will work across all Coca-Cola's global brands and will take
up responsibility for localization of campaigns in all markets from
March 2011.
*The Coca-Cola Company's Central and Southern Europe (CSE) is
comprised of the following countries: Albania, Austria, Bosnia,
Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech, Estonia, FYROM, Greece, Hungary,
Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Moldova, Poland, Romania,
Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Switzerland.
