LONDON (Brand Republic) - Pilsner Urquell International has awarded its global beer brand account, believed to be worth between $40m-$50m (£27.7m-£34.65m), to Leagas Delaney.
Leagas Delaney won the business following a competitive pitch against WCRS Wieden & Kennedy Amsterdam. The work will be split between Leagas鈥檚 offices in London and San Francisco, although the pitch was won by the London office.
Leagas will produce a global campaign for the brewer鈥檚 Pilsner Urquell beer brand, but at this stage it is unknown when this will launch or whether it will primarily focus on TV or print ads. The beer is well known in the Czech Republic and the brewer wants to expand its brand to other markets in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.
In a statement announcing its decision, Pilsner marketing director Phil Plowman said Leagas understood the challenges that the company faced as it expands into other countries.
