The pitch was overseen by Alison Cowan, the assistant marketing director at Asthma UK, who said the pitch began by removing all agencies that worked with tobacco industry accounts.
A shortlist was then whittled down from 20 to five then two agencies, which pitched earlier this month. The competing agencies have not been disclosed.
Claydon Heeley will develop an audience-focused marketing strategy for the charity, which rebranded from the National Asthma ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 on World Asthma Day in May.
The agency's first task is to develop an individual-giving recruitment campaign based on the charity's new tagline: "Control over asthma today, freedom from asthma tomorrow."
Andy Oram, the account director at Claydon Heeley who led the pitch, said: "When you are faced with the statistic that 90% of asthma deaths are preventable, you can't help but be moved into action. It's a privilege being on the business. Alongside the more prosaic need to raise funds, we intend to help put Asthma UK on the map."
