MONTREAL, Feb. 25, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - In line with the brand's ambition to further accelerate its digitalisation in Canada, L'Oreal Paris has named Cossette as its digital agency, after an in-depth selection process. As part of this new role, Cossette will provide L'Oréal Paris Canada with strategic and technological support for web platform optimization, content development or consumer relationship management.
Meanwhile, assignments remain unchanged for L'Oreal Paris' canadian brand agency of record, Marketel McCann Erickson; and media agency of record, MEC Canada.
"Cossette demonstrated its ability to carry out digital projects that are creatively, strategically and technologically sophisticated. This combination of expertise convinced us that they were the ideal partner to help us extend our position as leader in the beauty in Canada" said Stéphanie Binette, General Manager of L'Oréal Paris in Canada.
"We are honoured to be working with L'Oréal Paris, a brand of national and international renown. They are a force to be reckoned with in a fiercely competitive industry, with whom we share both a culture of innovation and strong common values," noted Mélanie Dunn, President and CEO of Cossette Canada.
A new model of cooperation
The agreement is founded on a new partnership model―Cossette will be compensated based on results.
"The client-agency model needs to be updated to reflect today's reality. With this partnership, we aim to build a synergistic relationship with Cossette―to share the risk, and conquer the unknown. Cossette demonstrated openness to tackle this challenge right at the beginning of the process," explained Stéphane Bérubé, Vice-President, Chief Marketing Officer at L'Oréal Canada.
"We fully support this vision―we continually strive to be more flexible, agile and open to change. Stéphane's vision is bold, timely and consistent with our own. Gone are the days where the agency and the client worked in silos. We are now focused on common business objectives and are constantly called on to invest in our in-house talent," added Ms. Dunn.
