Omnicom’s OMD is the incumbent, and it’s understood Dentsu, through Carat, and GroupM also have a spot on the roster.
OMD has held the account for close to 20 years, after extending its 14-year partnership in 2017. In October last year, Beiersdorf handed its global media strategy consulting brief to WPP, which beat Publicis Groupe and Dentsu in the process.
Beiersdorf declined to comment on the media pitch, which a spokesperson described as “confidential”. OMD also declined to comment.
In August last year, Beiersdorf appointed Red Havas to its social, comms and PR account after a pitch.
