Leading Beverage company Lion has announced the appointment of Thinkerbell as creative partner following a comprehensive agency review. The process was headed up by Trinity P3. The industry giant owns Speight’s, Steinlager, Lion Red, Lion Brown, Panhead, Little Creatures, Waikato Draught, Black Ice, Rheineck and Lion Ice brands. Thinkerbell has been working with the group for two years.
Commenting on the strategic tie-up, Ed Stening, Lion’s connections director, said, “By reaching consumers where we can have most impact, we can realise our brand growth objectives and drive better conversion and ROI. We’re now working to establish in-house expertise across creative strategy, media, digital, partnerships and connections planning to help unlock this potential.”
Elated upon the partnership, CEO Margie Reid, said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be working with Lion across all of their brands in both a creative and earned capacity. Although this account will be split across both our South and North offices, this win is testimony to the exceptional leadership of Katy Dally (GM Sydney). Lion has a genuine belief that investing in and harnessing the power of creativity drives commercial outcomes. We are looking forward to pushing creative boundaries and supercharging their brand portfolio over the coming years. We can’t wait to make more Measured Magic together.”
Lion’s move to a single creative partner is a significant move away from the previous model, under which a number of agencies were engaged across their brand portfolio.
