WPP Media has clinched Norwegian Cruise Line’s $102 million U.S. media account from Publicis-owned Digitas, ADWEEK has learned. It won the business in December. Digitas did not defend the business, according to a source familiar with the matter.

 

The $11 billion cruise giant wants to “redefine” its brand “to better align with our guests’ desires for exceptional vacation experiences across our fleet and destinations,” a company spokesperson told ADWEEK in a statement. The company’s partnership with WPP will serve “to enhance our presence in the media marketplace, ensuring we continue to deliver on our brand promise to our guests.” 

 

A spokesperson for WPP Media confirmed the account win to ADWEEK, noting in a statement that the holdco is “excited to support [Norwegian] in their continuous efforts to deliver exceptional vacation experiences across their 20-plus-ship fleet.”
