Lenovo Selects Stagwell's Assembly as Their New Media Agency of Record, After a Comprehensive Evaluation
In a hard-fought media pitch involving several prominent advertising agencies, Stagwell's Assembly has been awarded Lenovo's global media business. The tech giant's media assignment now covers North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
The competitive process, which began in September 2020 and concluded early this year, saw the participation of both established agencies and incumbent players. Apart from Assembly, agencies like Publicis' Performics and Dentsu were among the participants. However, the specific agencies that competed for Lenovo's media business were not named by James Townsend, the global CEO of Stagwell Media Network and Assembly.
The global media review was managed by MediaSense. The pitch was not limited to a few agencies, as evidenced by the extensive list of participants. Assembly's win marks a significant shift in Lenovo's media strategy, as they now manage media for Lenovo's consumer, commercial, and small- and medium-sized business segments.
This victory comes as a testament to Assembly's strategic approach and innovative media solutions. With this win, Lenovo joins a growing list of high-profile clients managed by Stagwell's Media Network, including Unilever, the NFL, and the New York Times.
As Lenovo embarks on this new media partnership, they look forward to leveraging Assembly's expertise to drive growth and enhance their brand presence across the globe. The collaboration is expected to bring about a fresh perspective in Lenovo's marketing efforts, setting the stage for exciting developments in the tech industry.
