Panasonic calls regional pitch

SINGAPORE - Panasonic has called a creative pitch for the launch of a new digital camera, with four agencies vying for the six-market assignment.

According to Panasonic’s regional marketing communications manager Evelyn Wee, the pitch will see presentations from BatesAsia, BBDO, McCann Erickson and Saatchi & Saatchi.

Wee confirmed that the brand’s AOR Dentsu has “opted to sit out for this pitch, but they are currently busy with other regional events for Panasonic”.

The selected agency will handle a regional TV and print campaign for the new product, across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and India. A decision is expected by mid-July.
