Red Bull NZ marketing director Sophie Ericksen said: “Since Red Bull was founded in 1987, our brand proposition of ‘giving wiiings to people and ideas’ is still at the heart of everything we do. What has changed is how we communicate and the types of channels we now utilise to engage with our audiences.
“When reviewing our media agency partnership in NZ, Hearts & Science not only showed depth of understanding of the Red Bull brand but strategically demonstrated how we can maximise both online and more traditional offline channels in today’s modern world.
“Their pitch response was exceptional as it was both data and experience driven.”
