Effective from July 1, 2014, FPY/DXB will oversee the communications for Arla Foods’ four main brands – Arla, Lurpak, Castello and Dano – across the MENA region. Established in 1880, Arla Foods has more than 12,000 current owners based in Sweden, Denmark, the UK, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg, with each owner granted a vote in the cooperative democracy.

“FP7 impressed us from the very beginning,” says Kristian Lerche Nielsen, Regional Director of Marketing, Arla Foods. “It was apparent through the whole process that they have the insight, creativity and market intelligence to be our strategic partner. The agency will enable us to reach our objective of doubling our branded business in the MENA region, and initiating our partnership with FP7 is a very exciting prospect.”

Sasan Saeidi, Managing Director of FP7/DXB adds, “We are absolutely delighted with this major win and so proud to partner with Arla Foods. We hope to further support all these brands with strategic channel communications and make them even more relevant through ‘truths’ that only these brands can claim. Here’s to the start of a great partnership.”
