F&N shortlists duo for China brand launch

BEIJING - Fraser & Neave has shortlisted Euro RSCG and Publicis as it gears up to launch its first food brand in mainland China.

The R3-managed review also saw credential submissions from Dentsu Beijing and Guangtang.

Euro and Publicis will now take part in a workshop round, before final presentations. F&N has chosen to launch the new infant milk formula brand, which targets a premium demographic, in the tier-two city of Xian – because of the tougher competition in China’s tier-one cities.
