The win, following a Q2 pitch, takes effect January 2025. The contract duration is not known, however, under the remit, PHD will handle planning, buying, and execution of integrated marketing campaigns for Bosch China's corporate segment.

As reported by Campaign earlier, the the win follows PHD's renewal of the $310 million SAIC Volkswagen account (Q1 2024) and the $110 million Volkswagen Group account (Q2 2024). Additionally, PHD was appointed as the media agency of record for Universal Beijing Resort (UBR) in August, winning the $40 million account from IPG Mediabrands’ Initiative. UBR, which opened in 2021 as Asia's third Universal theme park, continues to expand.

Separately, Bosch China announced a deepened technology partnership with Tencent Holdings, expanding their collaboration in cloud computing and autonomous driving. This builds on a four-year partnership focused on advanced intelligent driving systems.
