“We have huge ambitions for the Vitasoy brand and want to encourage even more Australians to enjoy the benefits of plant-based milk products. Finding the right agency partner was vital to help us realise our long-term ambitions,” he said.

“Leo Burnett impressed us from the start with their bold strategic thinking and creativity, along with their exceptional collaboration.”

Leo Burnett CEO Melinda Geertz said the Vitasoy brand has an amazing history and the team was inspiring.

“We’re absolutely delighted to partner with Vitasoy. The brand has an amazing history, and David and his team inspired us with their vision and their commitment to building even greater purpose into the brand. We see so much opportunity in this new partnership.”
