Claydon Heeley Jones Mason has picked up ExxonMobil's pounds 10
million (about USdollars 14 million) pan-European below-the-line
business, swiftly replacing its BP account which moved to Ogilvy-One
last month as part of a global review.
The agency will work on loyalty, marketing of fuels, convenience stores
and commercial cards for the Esso brand across Europe.
The move to Claydon Heeley is part of a global review by ExxonMobil.
McCann-Erickson previously held the through-the-line account. It lost
the global creative business to DDB earlier this year.
Claydon Heeley will develop direct marketing and promotional strategy
for the Esso brand and implement the work in the UK. Local DDB offices
will work on implementation other markets.
The agency lost the BP account last month as the oil giant moved its
entire below-the-line business into the Ogilvy network. Ogilvy & Mather
picked up the above-the-line business a year ago. The Esso brand is
looking at establishing loyalty partnerships. It does not have a loyalty
scheme, but is exploring options in this area.
Following the creative and BTL review, the oil giant is reviewing its
pounds 75 million global media account. In the UK, Universal McCann
works on the Esso brand.
