Nissan hunt for agency for multinational corporate brief

Added: (Wed Feb 01 2012)

Pressbox (Press Release) - Car giant Nissan is seeking a UK-based PR agency to handle its corporate PR activities across key global markets.
The Japanese car manufacturer wants the successful PR agency to work to help coordinate its comms across Africa, the Middle East, India and Europe.
The chosen agency will report to Fernando Menezes, Nissan general manager corporate and brand comms, Africa, Middle East, India and Europe, who is based in the company’s Switzerland offices.
The brief was sent out to eight agencies during the past two weeks. These have since been whittled down to four due to conflict issues and some of the agencies being unable to demonstrate network partnerships in Africa and the Middle East.
Menezes told PRWeek: ‘Although we have reduced the number to four agencies, we are still open to receiving applications.
‘I must stress that only agencies that have an established network in the Africa, Middle East, India and Europe markets should contact us.’
Pitches are due to be held during January.
