Hersheys puts media account into review

Hershey’s will initiate a formal agency review for the company’s U.S. media across its iconic confectionery brands.  The agency review will be by invitation-only and all incumbent agencies are invited to participate in the process.

The review will include an evaluation of all paid media, including linear, digital, social, programmatic and retailer, for Hershey’s U.S. candy, mint and gum (CMG) business.  This review will not include media for Hershey-owned Amplify Foods and ONE brands or Hershey’s international markets.  

As the world and media industry are in the midst of significant and rapid changes, this review will allow Hershey to continue to invest across all media channels while looking for the best partners who will complement and enhance Hershey’s internal media capabilities.
