Ogilvy will be tasked with raising the profile of Pizza Hut among millennials after being appointed creative agency of record for the brand in Hong Kong.
The agency was selected following a competitive pitch. Havas was the incumbent.

In a statement, Pizza Hut Hong Kong marketing director Wendy Leung said: “Our decision to partner with Ogilvy was based on their proven track record of delivering innovative work that resonates with the local market.
“As we look to elevate the Pizza Hut brand amongst millennials in Hong Kong, it was critical that we chose an agency whose work is grounded in strong, local consumer insights”.
Ogilvy Hong Kong executive creative John Koay added: “Everyone in Hong Kong grew up with Pizza Hut. We are thrilled Ogilvy can partner with this iconic brand to create effective and famous work that will drive their business forward and connect with Hong Kong people”.
