LAC Global hired Kobe

2024 ยท Supplements / healthcare

LAC already had a PR agency and deliberately added a second one for creators, because it judged the two to be different jobs.

Somebody said so

Somebody asserted the problem rather than a document recording it. Who said it, and whether they had a stake, is named below.

How we know

"the decision to engage Kobe, an influencer specialist agency, alongside our esteemed retainer PR agency, stems from our commitment to delivering dynamic and innovative marketing strategies that resonate with the evolving preferences of our audience." The sentence that used to sit here, about not reaching the right people, was our category label restated.

Who says soEvelyn Teo, LAC Global's own head of marketing and digital, in Marketing-Interactive. No second outlet carries the dual appointment. Read it
A second sourceNo second outlet found for the dual appointment. MARKETING-INTERACTIVE separately covered the We Are Social acquisition of Kobe in 2022, which corroborates the ownership but not this account.
What the agency was asked to doNot published as a quoted brief. On record: Kobe was tasked with amplifying LAC Global's brand influence through outcome-driven influencer partnerships across TikTok and Instagram, aligned to the brand's target audience.
How the agency was pickedBrand approached the agency
How that happenedNo pitch is described. LAC Global engaged two agencies at once, keeping PRecious Communications as its PR retainer into a second year and adding Kobe as a separate influencer specialist. The head of marketing explains the split in her own words, which is unusually clear for this sheet.
How long it tookReported 8 February 2024. The PRecious partnership was entering its second year. No term is given for Kobe.
Watch out for: The description of Kobe's scope comes from a statement supplied by the brand, per the article's own wording, so the method claims about performance data and work ethic ratings are the agency's account of itself. The appointment and the named quotes are solid.
← Every case

Every case here carries the one link that proves it, and names who said it. Where that is the agency describing its own win, the card says so rather than hiding it. Cases where nobody ever documented a reason are not on this page at all. Brought to you by Influencer Advisory, your influencer marketing partner for supplement, health and beverage brands.
