Dept’s aim is to strengthen the Mizuno brand as a whole. The agency will do so by focusing on creating integrated campaigns and help Mizuno with its e-commerce strategy in EMEA. Dept will now be responsible for seasonal campaigns, photo and video production, social and digital e-commerce strategy. These campaigns will be suited for multichannel purposes, both online and offline in this modern retail landscape.
