Havas Shanghai scoops Bank of Communications, Uni Green Tea

SHANGHAI - Havas Shanghai has won two new accounts: Bank of Communications and beverage brand Uni Green Tea.

The agency won the Bank of Communications account after a pitch against Y&R, Grey and Dentsu Aegis, following which Havas Shanghai will lead the bank's brand strategy and creative advertising for a period of two years starting this month. Bank of Communications is one the largest banks in China, with a history dating back to 1908.

For the Uni Green Tea account, also won following a pitch, the agency will be in charge of repositioning the brand for a relaunch next year. The agency started working with the brand in August, covering development of communications strategy and creative development across all platforms including television, print, digital and BTL.
