Sony splits creative between 10AM and Bates141

ASIA-PACIFIC - After a month-long pitch, Sony Electronics has split its regional creative account, with 10AM Communications taking charge of the digital imaging category, and Bates141 handed the Bravia and Home AV product lines.

The decision comes after Sony earlier shortlisted Saatchi & Saatchi and Bates141, without ruling 10AM out of the running.

The pitch kicked off with RFPs sent to these three agencies, along with TBWA, after Y&R resigned the business earlier this year (Media, 17 April).

Both agencies were selected based on their good track record, in-depth strategic analysis, creative strategies, as well as the strength of their working team for Sony, said a Sony spokesperson.
