M&C Saatchi has been appointed to Woolworths’ Paid Social account after a pitch.
The account deepens the relationship with the M&C Saatchi Group, which cofounded Greenhouse Agency in 2016 with Woolworths.

Woolworths has named M&C Saatchi as its Paid Social creative and production agency after a three-stage pitch.
