Tony Udenze bounces back with CANOD Advertising, Wins May & Baker media brief
Have you heard the news? Tony Udenze, former Chief Executive Officer at Capital media, a subsidiary arm of DDB Lagos, has finally set up his own media and creative agency. The new agency, CANOD advertising has left no one in doubt about its competitive edge and seriousness of purpose as it has won the hotly competitive media brief of May & Baker, a leading pharmaceutical company in Nigeria.
The agency which sources hinted debuted following the disengagement of Udenze from the DDB group three years ago, is said to have been working on some other top brands since arrival.
However, Nigeria’s first Pharmaceutical company and makers of one of the leading painkiller brands ‘Paracetamol’, May and Baker (M & B) Plc, was said to have appointed CANOD Advertising as its preferred agency to handle its M & B Paracetamol campaign.
The appointment followed a rigorous pitch process that involved four leading media agencies at which the firm emerged victorious and the subsequent hard negotiations that further confirmed it as an agency deserving of the media account.
The pitched brand, M&B Paracetamol, “the Red one”, has fast acting and effective tablets as well as pleasant tasting pineapple flavoured syrup for children. M&B’s avowed aim to sustain its dominance of this particular market category with “the Red one” led to its resolve to partner with an efficient agency hence the need for the pitch and the eventual triumph of the agency.
The campaign which commenced in the last week of July is flighted on both television and radio with its execution in both English and vernacular languages to effectively penetrate the target markets.
According to a statement issued in Lagos, the advertising agency is a young and dynamic Agency being led by a foremost practitioner, Tony Udenze. “It is a team of consummate marketing communications practitioners with over 30 years’ experience that cuts across FMCG brands, Telecommunications, Hair & Beauty Care, Pharmaceuticals; Banking & Financial Services; Government & Public sector, Electronics and Insurance,” the statement stated.
Udenze, a maverick media maven is a highly skilled and knowledgeable media practitioner who is believed to have a mission statement to make with the new agency.
