Nissan Motor Company appoints TBWA Worldwide for Datsun revival communications strategy

The global creative and strategic direction will be led by a combination of resources from TBWA\HAKUHODO and TBWA\London. The agency’s appointment follows its development of the ‘Riser’ brand platform for Datsun.
