DraftFCB wins Saab digital account

SHANGHAI - Shanghai General Motors has awarded the digital brief for its Saab brand to DraftFCB, following the agency's recent appointment to handle online for Buick.

It is believed that the pitch involved five agencies - two local and three international networks - although the client declined to reveal their identities.

Gary Tse, DraftFCB Greater China CEO said: “Many other automobile companies in China treat their websites like a filing cabinet, and do not fully utilise the interactive element as an important marketing platform. We will revamp Saab’s website fundamentally from the online marketing angle, not just in common technical solutions but creating a cost effective marketing solution.”
