Campbell Soup Company is putting its global media agency assignment in review, the company confirmed Friday.

The firm spent $397 million on advertising and consumer promotion in its fiscal year 2016, according to its latest annual report. Measured media spending in the U.S. last year was an estimated $165 million according to Kantar Media.

The company’s advertising expense rose 2% last year, per the annual report, largely due to increased spending in its global biscuits and snacks division.

Responding to an email query a Campbell’s rep wrote: “Yes, Campbell has an initiated a review of its media buying/planning business. We are pleased with the performance of our current agencies, but believe we can be both more effective and efficient with a more streamlined approach.”

The review is at an early stage. Sources familiar with the situation said the company has not yet issued an RFI revealing specifics of what the company will be expecting of agencies that are invited to pitch.

The firm’s last global media review was in 2006, when WPP’s MEC won the business. Successor company Wavemaker is expected to defend.  Campbell’s is the second major Wavemaker client this week to confirm that a global media review is in the works. Earlier lodging giant Marriott indicated it was holding one as well. Wavemaker is also expected to defend in that contest.

Campbell's is allocating substantially more of its ad budget to digital than in the past and will shift even more dollars to digital in the future.

In fiscal 2016, 35% percent of the company’s advertising dollars were spent on digital compared to 19% in fiscal 2015, the company stated in its annual report. “We expect digital and mobile to account for between 35 and 45 percent of our total advertising spend moving forward.” 

E-commerce is now a high priority as well. Last year the company’s online sales were less than 1%, but “We have plans to make this a more meaningful percentage of total sales in the future.”
