McCann wins Saga Group ad account

Saga Group, the service company for the over-50s, has appointed McCann London to handle its £6m ad account.

Campaign's reporting of the win has statements about "Saga increasing its marketing activity in a bid to build a more dynamic brand and broaden its customer base."

I suspect that Saga's customer base grows older by the year. Not a good thing.

McCann's first work for Saga launches later this month and consists of a series of three television spots promoting insurance, cruises and holidays.

In addition to a new ad agency, Saga is having its web site redesigned. Not a day to soon.

It will be interesting to see what the hot shots at McCann come up with to make the brand sparkle. I will keep my eye open. Dick Stroud
