Phillips 66's U.S. Marketing Business Chooses Carmichael Lynch as Agency of Record Following Competitive Agency Review

Phillips 66 has chosen Carmichael Lynch as the new agency of record (AOR) for its fuel brands following a creative review that began in late 2016. The Burnett Collective managed the review process. The agency will handle brand strategy, creative, media planning and buying, cause marketing, analytics and digital services for the Phillips 66 fuel brands, including Phillips 66®, Conoco® and 76®.

“Carmichael Lynch came to the table with an understanding of our business needs, our values and our company culture,” said Sarah Bolding, senior director of Brands for Phillips 66. “Their integrated resources produced an outstanding creative product and 360-degree plan. We’re thrilled to announce them as our new AOR.”

The agency will begin work in mid-March focusing on promotions and sports marketing in 2017, as well as media planning and buying for the current campaign while working toward new brand work in 2018.

“Phillips 66 is a great brand with a rich history that we’re thrilled to be a part of,” said Carmichael Lynch CEO, Marcus Fischer. “We were able to flex our collaborative thinking and holistic approach to produce a powerful idea and strategy that will propel their business. We’re excited to collaborate with Phillips 66 to bring these marketing elements to life in the years ahead.”
