MediaCom Australia has been appointed to handle the Westpac Group media account. MediaCom will handle the strategy, planning and buying across the entire Westpac Group of companies including St George, Bank of Melbourne and Bank South Australia (BankSA).
Toby Jenner, CEO of MediaCom, said of the win: "We're delighted that MediaCom and MediaCompete have been successful against such strong competition; it shows just how far we've come over the last two years and half years."
A spokesperson for Westpac added, "The Westpac Group thanked outgoing agency OMD for its hard work and valuable contribution, and acknowledged its dedication to delivering communication outcomes through strong relationships and a passionate team."
