PenQuin International's creativity connects with Sony Ericsson

The pitch saw PenQuin International triumph over several local heavy-weight agencies and comes as another excellent accolade after their recent success on the Suzuki Auto account.

PenQuin International's core focus will be on developing uniquely South African concepts to deliver the benefits of the Sony Ericsson experience, encompassing creative development through to in-store POS and brand activations. PenQuin's business team headed by Mike Bray, Greg Kockott and Dean Oelschig are extremely confident that they not only can deliver on Sony Ericsson's expectations but substantially exceed them.
