Samsung Heads In New Marketing Direction

Samsung has radically changed their marketing direction by introducing a consolidated marketing approach via Clemenger Group agencies.

The account will be handled by CHE Proximity on behalf of Clemenger Group and will encompass social, customer experience, data and platform.

Mumbrella reports the media account has an estimated worth of $60 to $70 million.

The announcement comes after Samsung put the media and creative accounts on the market last November – with M&C Saatchi and Bohemia, Publicis Groupe and the Clemenger Group all putting in their bids.

Samsung’s media account was previously held by Starcom, while the creative account was with Publicis’ Leo Burnett – a longstanding relationship.

Edelman will continue to manage Samsung’s public relations account.
