AUCKLAND, Today: Indie Grey Lynn media agency D3 has been appointed to manage the Metlifecare Retirement Villages media account. The incumbent was Dentsu, which was also involved in the selection process along with PHD and Hearts & Science.
D3 partner Alex Radford said: This rounds off a significant 2020 for D3, which was founded by me and Richard Thompson just over two years ago.
“D3 is one of the fastest growing media agencies in New Zealand boasting a client base including My Food Bag, The Co-operative Bank and UP Education, as full service media clients, alongside continued digital consultancy projects for Tourism New Zealand, Stuff, me today, and Trustpower.
“As a relatively new agency, being invited to pitch for an account like Metlifecare was a real honour and winning makes all the hard work incredibly rewarding.”
Richard Thompson said: “We’re really excited to be able to work with a progressive client like Metlifecare who believe in the power of harnessing data to deliver powerful results.”
“D3 immediately impressed us with their deep understanding of our business.”
