After a competitive RFP process, Beko U.S., Inc., a subsidiary of global consumer durable company Arçelik A.S., has named Addison-based 31,000 FT Advertising Agency as its U.S. social media partner.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with 31,000 FT to reach consumers with our message of sustainability and performance,” said Justin Reinke, Vice President of Marketing at Beko Home Appliances USA. “As Beko continues to grow in the United States, we believe 31,000 FT’s expertise and nimble nature will help us engage the category in fresh and exciting ways.”
