According to Nielsen, Hasbro’s annual media spending worldwide is estimated at US $300-$350 million and its’ last year expenditure in the U.S. alone was of nearly US $100 million in media.
This media decision follows Hasbro’s intended shifting of a substantial share of global creative business to WPP’s Grey. In the media field, WPP offered a broader GroupM solution to the Pawtucket, Rhode Island company.
