Deutsch to become SCEA's new advertising agency

Posted on December 1st, 2007 at 04:26 EDT

Earlier we reported that Sony has dropped their long lasting advertising partner for 13 years, TBWA/Chiat/Day from their PlayStation account. With that said, however, we can now reveal that the platform holder has chosen a new partner.

Los Angeles based company Deutsch, has won the bid (it wasn’t really an actual contest) to be added to the USD 150m PlayStation advertising account. Some of the candidates for the job included Publicis & Hal Riney, Publicis West, Grey, Young & Rubica, and JWT.

It should be noted that this is SCEA only, TBWA still remains to be on the PlayStation account in Europe, but things could change. Either way, with all the great titles coming out in 2008, it should be interesting to see how this new firm takes the wheel.

For more information about Deutsch, please head over to their Official website.

The Universe of Entertainment ads were the best any company has ever done....Why would Sony trash this? I'm sure this Deutsch or whatever  the fck it's called will not make any near as good. I definitely hope I'm wrong. Please prove me wrong, deutsch.

This can only be good because so far the marketing thats been done on the ps3 and its games has been rubbish.  Hopefully this new company put more money into advertising games to make the ps3 look more like a gaming console with blu-ray functionality and less like a blu-ray player with gaming functionality.

The latest ads will have to suffice for the time being, the energetic "universe" ads are cool but the old company was probably running out of good ideas beyond that. The company they switched to has a LOT of familiar american ads Like Saturn Automitive, Tylenol, and a few others. Nothing on their resume says: we make killer video game ads but they do seem to know good marketing. I'd expect to see their ads start showing up in march.

their website was working fine this afternoon, I guess everyone's rushing over there to see what they can do and wrecking their site. It's working fine right now though.
