Albion won the brief after a competitive pitch that was run out of Berlin and Amsterdam. The pitch also involved TBWA.

Albion is now tasked with created integrating marketing services for Thomas Cook, as well as creating new products for the brand.

Thomas Cook’s media spend across Europe is understood to be in excess of £20 million.
