Netflix appoints Dept as lead social agency DACH
Global digital agency Dept has been selected by Netflix as the lead agency for the company's social media presence in the DACH region. As an extension of the internal Netflix team, Dept is responsible for the content strategy, campaign management, optimization, reporting, quality assurance and innovation of the national campaigns in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and Meta.
Dept recently completed a successful eight-week pitch phase for Netflix and was ultimately selected as the future social lead agency. The next milestones are the development of the new Netflix content strategy for DACH, the set-up of production workflows for asset creation and the roll-out of campaigns across multiple markets and channels to take Netflix's social media presence to the next level.
"Netflix is a world-class entertainment provider with an unrivaled understanding of their audience - an incredibly powerful combination for social media and a dream client for an agency," says Tobias Cummins, Managing Director at Dept Berlin. "As a digital-first agency, it's a great opportunity for us to work with such an iconic brand. We successfully demonstrated in the pitch phase that we can take their social media campaigns to new heights and we are ready for the challenge."
Dept has developed social media campaigns for some of the world's biggest brands, including Twitch, Samsung, Just Eat Takeaway (Lieferando) and eBay.
