Industry Leader Selects Agency to Elevate Brand to Next Level

"After a very thorough review, we selected Riney based on both the impressive creative work we've seen so far and the agency's unique ability to understand the consumer conversation in our marketplace," said Marc Metis, VP Corporate Marketing at SanDisk. "Having successfully built several brands in technology and consumer electronics, we're confident that this team is the right partner to deliver the kind of advertising that really connects with the consumer and solidifies SanDisk's position within a rapidly growing and changing market."

Riney will be the SanDisk agency of record for advertising and digital and will manage overall strategy, creative and brand stewardship. The team will lead the development and execution of extensive consumer campaigns including TV, print, outdoor, interactive and other media.

"We're thrilled to have won the SanDisk business, as well as the opportunity to partner with forward-thinking marketers, always looking for the smartest work," said Jamie King, president and CEO at Riney. "SanDisk built their company on a track record of innovation, so they wanted an agency with an innovative approach to advertising. The new work will bring the power of SanDisk technology to life in a way that humanizes the brand and celebrates how flash memory has changed the way we live and made the digital revolution possible."
