Orion Confectionery, established in 1958, is one of the three largest food companies in Korea with manufacturing facilities in Korea, China, Russia, Vietnam and the USA.

The pitch, which also included incumbent Starcom and UM, took place in November. Starcom has been working on the account for over two years alongside creative agency Cheil.
