Richemont shifts A-P media to Starcom

ASIA-PACIFIC - The luxury goods manufacturer Richemont has shifted its Asia-Pacific media business from OMD to Starcom, as part of a global alignment with Publicis Groupe.

According to a source, Zenith will lead the account in other parts of the world. The Asia-Pacific portion of the business is tipped to move to Starcom in the middle of this year.

“This is a very intensive piece of business,” said one source.

“Starcom will need to get geared up to handle this large, complicated account.

Of the individual brands, Cartier is believed to have the highest spend in Hong Kong.”
