Earlier this week Media reported that the company had launched a pitch. However, a statement from the company read: “Daimler SEA would like to clarify and confirm that no formal invitation to pitch for the media account in Singapore has been issued.”
The spokesperson added: “We have built a strong and successful partnership with MEC over the past nine years and, contrary to the report, we have not put MEC on notice. Daimler head office in Germany sets the tone for agency relationships. Daimler Germany recently appointed MEC as AOR over the incumbent Omnicom agency."
Recently in its home market in Germany, Daimler shifted its US$203 million media business to MEC , following a pitch with the incumbent agency PHD.
