Colenso BBDO to handle Michael Hill’s new global brand strategy
Jeweller Michael Hill has appointed Colenso BBDO to develop the company’s new global brand strategy, a first for the company which has most recently handled its creative business inhouse.
The Auckland-based agency will initially develop a brand campaign to be rolled out across New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the US.
Nick Garrett, managing director of Colenso said: “We’re thrilled to have been given the chance to work with such an iconic Kiwi brand and help take it to the world. It’s an exciting time for Michael Hill as it continues to expand as a business whilst staying true to its renowned craftsmanship and quality.”
The agency was chosen following a worldwide search facilitated by Peter McDonald of Pitch Perfect Advisors.
Sue Szylvester, group marketing executive for Michael Hill said: “Colenso BBDO really impressed us with the way they’re consistently able to bring brands to life through their marketing communications. We’re looking forward to developing campaigns that bring to life all of the excitement and emotion associated with jewellery.”
Michael Hill’s Australian creative business was handled by McCann before being taken inhouse at the end of 2011.
congratulations Nick and team.
Well done mate
