Yamaha Motor Europe appoints Aussie owned Twofish as international lead agency
Yamaha Motor Europe (YME), Europe's largest producer of motorised products, has appointed Aussie-owned, Amsterdam-based Twofish as its lead creative agency for pan-European marketing after a three-way pitch. As YME's lead agency, Twofish will drive pan-European campaigns and content for all YME product categories, including motorcycles, scooters, snowmobiles, marine and all-terrain vehicles. Responsibilities range from strategy to production activities, with initial projects including a brand overhaul - currently being implemented at campaign and web level.
"Yamaha makes a huge range of products, but is united by one thing: a
sense of exhilaration," said Aussie expat Russ Pinney, Twofish's
managing director. "Our goal is to convey that raw excitement, across
all YME communications."
Established by Australian management in 2003, Twofish is a boutique, full-service agency with clients including Canon Europe and Tommy Hilfiger. The agency is currently defying the economic crisis with a period of exceptional growth.
Pinney studied Marketing at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. After recording and touring internationally for ten years with his Australian band, he settled in Amsterdam to found Twofish in 2003.
