Reasons why Chanel Changed its Media Account
According to a statement by Chanel, Omnicom’s ability to impress through their strategic approach led to the selection of Chanel’s new global media agency effective from January. Additionally, Omnicom had a better understanding of the brand and was well organized around the requirements. Though Chanel has been in business with WPP for two decades, it opted to change to Omnicom because Omnicom has a better understanding of the business and is well organized with proper strategies that will significantly contribute to the penetration of Chanel in the market. Chanel targets working with Omnicom beginning from January because they bagged the deal after a strict competition pitch with WPP.
Other Reasons why Chanel Changed its Media Account
Despite Omnicom being suitable to market the luxurious clothes by Chanel, the 2020 economic conditions and business environment contributed to the need for change in the market by Chanel. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a negative market value of the business since it generated an 18% decline in revenue from the previous year, 2019. In the bid to salvage the business from the effects of the pandemic, the business has come up with post-pandemic strategies to help it recover. Among the strategies is working with a media account that promotes both online and offline markets.
