China Mobile selects Ogilvy for GoTone creative

BEIJING - China Mobile, China's largest mobile operator, has selected Ogilvy & Mather China to handle the creative brief for GoTone, strengthening the agency's hold on China Mobile's consumer business.

Ogilvy, which won the business in a two-way pitch thought to include incumbent agency Grey Global Group, has been tasked with developing strategic communications for the brand.

The move marks a return to Ogilvy for the GoTone brand, which was displaced by Grey in 2006 (Media, 7 April, 2006).

Ogilvy also handles China Mobile’s youth brand M-Zone, an account which it has handled for five years.
