TBWA London wins £18 million Lidl advertising account
Lidl has appointed TBWA London to handle its £18 million UK advertising account, The Drum has learned.
Lidl, which has previously handled advertising in-house and worked with Belfast and Dublin based AV Browne, began a search in August last year for an agency to create a brand campaign that would help attract shoppers through its doors on a weekly basis.
The decision came following the successful “like brands” TV and print campaign from rival supermarket chain Aldi.
The appointment is expected to be officially confirmed by Lidl tomorrow, February 14. Sources within the industry say that it has already begun working with TBWA London on its brand advertising.
