Nike has selected PMG and Initiative to handle its media business, the company said in an emailed statement. The brand kicked off the review process — the most substantial for its media account in a decade — in December.
PMG, an independent shop based out of Fort Worth, Texas, will serve as the athletic apparel marketer’s integrated media agency of record in North America and a partner on global digital capabilities, per an announcement. Nike will leverage the firm’s Alli marketing technology platform for media operations.
Initiative, an agency under Interpublic Group of Companies, is taking over global integrated media duties following previous work with Converse. Nike is in the midst of wresting greater control over its sales channels and making bigger pushes into areas like data-driven personalization.
