The US auto-giant is reported to be overhauling its system of maintaining regionally-based agencies in favour of globally aligned agencies by brand.

Oglivy & Mather alongside Young & Rubicom deal with Ford’s main brand work in Europe, while JWT handles Ford’s account in the US. JWT is also responsible for Ford’s luxury brands – including Jaguar – outside the US, while O&M handles it within the US.

Responsibility for dealer advertising is with O&M within Europe while JWT is responsible in the US, says the report, with Mindshare being Ford’s European media agency, while a JWT subsidiary – Ford Motor Media – handles US media.
