Specsavers has appointed Ogilvy PR to handle its earned communications activity across Australia and New Zealand, following a competitive pitch process. The account was previously managed by agencies including Mango NZ, AMPR, and Health Haus.
Ogilvy PR, together with New Zealand agency One Plus One, will manage Specsavers’ strategic national consumer public relations plan. The remit includes strengthening the brand’s presence and consumer connection across both markets, working in collaboration with existing partners EssenceMediacom and TBWA.
The appointment marks a consolidation of Specsavers’ PR efforts in the region and signals a renewed focus on integrated earned-first communications. Ogilvy PR will be responsible for developing and executing campaigns that reinforce Specsavers’ positioning in optical and audiology services, with the first work expected to roll out by the end of the year.
As part of the global Ogilvy network, Ogilvy PR brings experience in delivering large-scale, insight-driven campaigns for international brands.
