The Kite Factory has appointed award winning, independent outdoor specialists Talon as its out of home partner following a competitive review.
The partnership between the two thriving independent agencies means supercharging The Kite Factory’s media planning and buying with Talon’s industry-leading outdoor solutions at global, national and regional levels, to deliver innovation with effectiveness at the heart.
Announcing the appointment, Anthony Abou-Zeid, Head of Client Services, The Kite Factory, said that as a proud independent agency, it was crucial that partners share in their commitment to delivering ground-breaking work for their clients.
He said: “Over the last three years, we have focused on evolving our heart, art and science proposition which is driven by creativity, innovation and effectiveness. Throughout the pitch process, it was clear that Talon’s values were totally aligned to ours.
“They challenged our thinking, demonstrated true innovation and thought leadership and importantly, they clearly drive a culture of effectiveness throughout the entire business. Their people showed a lot of passion and enthusiasm to work on our business and for us, that was something that really stood out.”
