Opel names McCann's as European creative agency

The appointment will see McCann work on the promotion of the brand during the 120th anniversary of production, with a focus on its cars and extending the recent definition of the ‘German’, ‘approachable’ and ‘exciting’ values it has created.

Tobias Gubitz, director of brand strategy and marketing communications at Opel/Vauxhall, commented: “Our new partner has a European network of top creatives. The decision also creates efficiencies, since McCann is already working for our British sister brand, Vauxhall. This helps us to implement a pan-European strategy – with a strong focus on the values of each brand.”

McCann world group’s president for Europe, Pablo Walker, said that the company would create an agency team based in Frankfurt in order to work with the “iconic leading German brand".

Previous creative partners for the brand were Scholz & Friends, which had worked with Opal since 2010 and Heimat, which was hired last year and supported the recent Combo campaign.
