Land O’Lakes Names Battery and Havas Media as AOR

The agencies will take over the dairy retail brands’ creative and media

Dairy brand Land O’Lakes first changed its controversial logo, and now the 100-year-old brand has chosen new creative and media partners, naming Battery and Havas Media the agencies of record for its dairy retail brands.

The announcement comes on the heels of the farmer-owned cooperative’s 100th anniversary and recent hire of CMO Heather Malenshek.

Los Angeles-based, Havas-owned creative agency Battery will lead the charge on creative strategy and execution, while Havas Media will be responsible for all media buying and planning for the brand’s butter, cheese and licensee products.
