Publicis Media wins Nestlé’s media mandate in China following competitive pitch process

Publicis Media China has been appointed by Nestlé as its new media agency in China. The appointment will see Nestlé entrusting Publicis Media China to manage its media requirements including media planning and buying for social and mobile as well as performance media in China.

 

Publicis Media China went through a competitive pitch to win Nestlé’s media account which underscores the strength of Publicis Media’s capabilities anchored on data and technology. In addition, Publicis Media China has also successfully put forth a strategy that reflects its deep understanding of Nestlé’s business in China and presented innovative solutions that serve to widen and deepen its reach to more consumers and drive greater business results.

In China, Publicis Communications has been serving Nestlé for 14 years, providing creative services and customer relationship management (CRM). With this latest win for media and eCommerce services, it will be able to provide a holistic and more integrated approach and a more effective marketing strategy to support Nestlé’s ambitions in China.

Nestlé One, an exclusive team dedicated to Nestle China has been assembled to serve this purpose. There will be greater synergies and alignment across creative, media and CRM to achieve Nestlé’s goals. Plans will be underway from August 2024 with pivotal strategies and campaigns poised for launch in the ensuing months.

Publicis Media China will have media responsibilities for Nestle’s entire product portfolio in China, encompassing diverse categories such as confectionery, milk powder, coffee, snacks, beverages and more.
