OPPO Awards its Media Business to PHD in Asia
The OPPO media business has been awarded to Omnicom Media Group (OMG) agency PHD in multiple Asian markets. This strategic choice, which was made after a competitive pitch, includes important markets like Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. With effect from April 1, PHD will be in charge of media strategy and planning for both online and offline platforms, contributing innovative ideas to OPPO’s regional marketing campaigns. Creating and carrying out media plans at the local, regional, and international levels is one of their duties.
OPPO hands PHD its media responsibilities
Important responsibilities include planning and purchasing media for local, regional, and headquarters markets. The responsibilities, which include collaborating with the OPPO Headquarters team in China and other OMG offices to implement various initiatives and strategies for international markets, will be overseen from Malaysia, which serves as OPPO’s APAC hub. Each market used to have a separate agency. The victory for PHD increases efficiency by unifying operations under a single network. This appointment comes after PHD was successful in acquiring OPPO’s Indian media business recently.
This change follows an international media pitch that OPPO launched in 2023. The brand wants to become more of a premium player in the industry. Global partners are convenient, but OPPO also values deep local knowledge.
