LG China hands media to MindShare

BEIJING - LG China has followed its global counterparts by shifting its US$30 million media buying and planning business to MindShare, displacing incumbent Dentsu.

The development comes after LG consolidated its global media account with the GroupM agency. The China media review was being conducted in parallel with the global pitch, after the arrival of new LG China marketing chief KK Ko from Coca-Cola (Media, 16 October).

It is believed that the China review also included Zenith.
