Nippon Paint hands Olympics assignment to Saatchis

SHANGHAI - Saatchi & Saatchi is believed to have won a three-way pitch for Nippon Paint's Olympics marketing assignment.

Saatchis is the incumbent for Nippon Paint’s China business, but pitched separately for this piece of business. The development comes as Nippon Paint pitches another China assignment, thought to focus on a new domestic brand launch.
 

Nippon Paint recently shifted its US$90 million China media buying and planning business to MindShare from Starcom, via a brief interlude at Carat.
