Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand has announced it has been appointed as Tourism Fiji’s global brand agency of record, following a selection process and creative pitch that began in mid-2017.

The agency will lead the creation of a revitalised brand platform and global campaign to attract visitors to Fiji from all over the world, focusing on key markets Australia, New Zealand, North America, Asia and Europe.

Saatchi & Saatchi will work with its network and Publicis Groupe partners to deliver a seamless brand experience across multiple locations.

Matt Stoeckel, CEO Tourism Fiji, said: “The standard of pitching from all agencies across the board was very high, but Saatchi & Saatchi quickly showed us they really understood the destination and our vision for the future.

Paul Wilson, managing director of Saatchi & Saatchi NZ, Paul Wilson, said: “We feel very fortunate to be working with Tourism Fiji, showcasing this jewel of the Pacific to a global audience.
