Kitcatt Nohr will be charged with creating fundraising campaigns Samaritans sends out throughout the year as part of its effort to drive awareness of the charity and generate funds.
Jeremy Payne, Samaritans director of marketing, said: "A recent review has highlighted the need for a fresh approach to re-energise our appeals. We felt that Kitcatt Nohr showed an in-depth understanding of where we wanted to go and what we were aiming to achieve."
The appointment comes following an internal review that highlighted the need to revitalise its marketing by promoting emotional wellbeing. Kitcatt Nohr will target specific age groups, including 14- to 25-year-olds.
Vonnie Alexander, Kitcatt Nohr client partner added: "We are absolutely delighted to be working with Samaritans. We pride ourselves at getting to the heart of a brand, whatever the sector, and making sure the target audience is engaged. Samaritans is among the best-known charity brands, and our job is to translate that strength into irresistible fundraising. We can't wait."
Manning Gottlieb OMD worked with Kitcatt Nohr on the media planning for the pitch.
