Kia Motors Europe has announced it has chosen a hyperbundled approach by selecting LOLA MullenLowe as its creative agency and MullenLowe Profero as its digital agency. The agencies will execute a European initiative together with Kia’s lead agency Innocean Worldwide Europe.

LOLA MullenLowe will be leading the team out of Barcelona, working closely with MullenLowe Profero in London. The hyperbundled team has been tasked with developing creative work and digital executions across multiple platforms for a European launch that will cover over 30 markets. The scope of work will encompass an integrated campaign idea that is driven by powerful human connection and will be deployed through engaging emotional content.
