Maxus Selected As Media Agency Of Record For Jet.com
NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxus Americas is pleased to announce it has been named the Media Agency of Record for Jet.com, a game-changing ecommerce startup that is redefining the online shopping experience. Maxus will specifically focus on the TV portion of Jet's overall media spend, overseeing the planning, buying and analytics.

They're changing the game in retail, and we're looking forward to helping them drive this change in media."
"We look forward to working with Maxus as we approach the next phase of growth," added Liza Landsman, Jet's Chief Customer Officer. "Their full-service capabilities and the buying leverage that their GroupM connection brings will make them a great partner."
Maxus Americas won the business following a review and will be replacing the incumbent agency Ocean Media. The creative portion of the account, which was not up for review, will continue to be handled by R/GA. The account will be managed out of the agency's New York office.
