Foley: Saatchi’s up for a beer or two

Following today’s move by Lion Nathan to consolidate the company’s agency roster, Saatchi & Saatchi Australia CEO John Foley commented, “While we respect Lion Nathan’s consolidation decision, we naturally would have preferred to be on the right side of the decision. But that’s business – we’ll take it on the chin and move on.

“We are incredibly proud of the work we have produced for Lion Nathan – particularly in recent times. As Lion Nathan have said, the ‘Beer Economy’ campaign for Toohey’s New has been hugely successful and highly awarded. Meanwhile we were incredibly excited about moving the Hahn Super Dry brand forward too.

“We have worked with some great people over the years at Lion Nathan and we wish them all the best.

“So moving forward, as one of the best beer advertising agencies in Australia, we very much look forward to catching up for a beer or two with a brand that wants to share in our experience, passion and category expertise.”
