Domino’s parts ways with BMF to take advertising inhouse
Domino’s has parted ways with its creative agency BMF after a relationship lasting almost exactly one year, Mumbrella can reveal.
The pizza chain is taking advertising creative and production inhouse, but will work with select agencies on a consultancy basis.
Domino’s appointed the Photon Group agency in May last year, choosing it over incumbent The Campaign Palace after a four-month pitch.
Domino’s CMO Allan Collins told Mumbrella in a statement:
Sounds like a win-win situation.
That would explain those burnt out scooters then……..
fancy a dumb client admitting that he preferred cheaper media buying!!
quelle horreur!!
if a pizza making company can do creative as good as a professional creative agency, then we are all doomed…
“The best home for the Domino’s brand is in house”
Why would that be?
What other brands might be in the same situation?
Sounds very defeatest for our industry from a leading advertising agency.
Seems smart really. If there objectives revolve around quick turn around times and getting retail offers in market, once they have a template, they don’t need an agencyto slow things up and charge them 5 times the cost. That’s a lot of $5 pizzas!
‘Their’ not ‘there’ – my grade 3 teacher would hate what I’ve become.
So thats how they’re making pizzas so cheap!
On the money there Steve
To anyone that worked on this business, this news is priceless!
Cheap
i’ve seen this in action before and the thing these clients leave behind is the top-end strategic/creative work that they just don’t have the resources to deliver. So ideas disappear and the “creative” output is just the latest offer execution done with some junior creatives (who else is prepared to work client-side?) and maybe an outsourced production company.
In this situation a client should retain some top level creative resource such as a freelance creative director or team, rather than a whole agency infrastructure, to provide some decent thinking/ideas, then leave it to the in-house team to execute or roll-out.
