Neverland wins Center Parcs creative account
Center Parcs has picked Neverland to take on its creative account following a three-way competitive pitch.
The process was handled by Ingenuity+ and Neverland will be responsible for brand strategy and creative campaigns.
Sara Holt, chief marketing officer at Center Parcs, said: 'Center Parcs is an incredible business with deep guest loyalty, unrivalled occupancy and an amazing story to tell. It needs a special partner.
'From the moment we met Josh [Harris, chief executive at Neverland], Jon [Forsyth, co-founder] and Simon [Massey, co-founder] they demonstrated a love of our brand that only comes from being a guest who has made lifetime family memories on our villages. They have used this to show us an enticing future. We are so excited to roll this out together to our guests and colleagues.'
The indie will begin working with Center Parcs immediately, creating a new campaign and strategy to help elevate the brand and achieve growth.
Harris added: 'From the moment we met Sara and the team, we felt the energy and potential behind this special opportunity to evolve one of the UK and Ireland's most iconic brands.
'We're grateful for the trust, time, and care Center Parcs put into an amazing pitch process. We're absolutely buzzing to get started.'
Neverland will be taking over from fellow independent creative shop Brothers & Sisters, which declined to repitch for the business.
Gill Huber, managing director at Ingenuity+, said: 'Throughout the pitch process Neverland continuously showed its passion and commitment to Center Parcs, giving the brand a sense of what the agency would be like as a partner for the brand's next stage of evolution.

'We appreciate the effort and time given by all the agencies that took part in the process and glad Center Parcs found its perfect partner. I look forward to seeing what this new dynamic duo can create together.'
Brothers & Sisters first won the account in 2013. Y&R London (now VML UK) later took over in 2017. The former won the account again in 2021.
The incumbent has created Center Parcs work such as 'Bears', 'Family forever' and 'Cherish the moment'.

The Bachelorette alum, 45, shared a look at her bachelorette party — eight years in the making — ahead of her European nuptials with fiancé Justin Pasutto. 'After eight years of being engaged, I finally had my Bachelorette party, and here's how it went…,' she wrote over a video showing her and her friends throwing off their cowboy hats in celebration in front of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Canada. Clips showed that the girls decorated the space with the words 'Last Hoedown,' and Harris even had a white 'bride' cowboy hat for the occasion. She showed a bartender pouring cocktails and the girls sharing drinks and dancing. Additional clips showed them doing yoga and taking a dip in a lake. 'All of my favorite things, we did it all,' Harris said in the video, as she and her closest loved ones got into a canoe and rowed down a lake. The girls also chomped down on several different meals and drank wine. 'Going back to my Alberta roots with 15 of my besties was exactly what my soul needed,' she captioned the post. 'We made so many unforgettable memories. From the yummiest food, to morning pilates and canoeing on the lake, dancing to country music, singing, belly laughing, and stories we'll be telling for years.'

'Honestly, I couldn't have imagined a better way to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people who are so special to me. My heart is SO full.🤠🫶🏼🥹🏔️🥂👰🏽♀️ #hosted,' she concluded her caption. Harris confirmed earlier this week that she and Pasutto were planning a 2025 European wedding after eight years of being engaged. The couple met in 2012, got engaged in December 2016 and share two children: 8-year-old Leo and 6-year-old daughter Annie. They had initially planned for a Summer 2020 wedding, but postponed it due to COVID. Then, while the couple was planning a family trip to Europe to celebrate Harris' mom's 70th birthday in 2024, she had an idea to 'just get married' there. They eventually postponed it one more time, landing on a Fall 2025 wedding date. "Yeah, it's going to happen. We were going to pull it off this fall, and everything was looking great, and we told everybody that was in our wedding party and the people that were coming that it was happening," Pasutto told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview last summer. Harris chimed in, saying that the couple was "excited" for the big day, particularly since they've settled on a location. "Justin is Italian, and I love Europe," she shared. "We just couldn't think of anywhere that felt right, and when we're there, we just love the bread and the cheese and the music and the laid-back culture, and it just feels like you could do something a little bit more laid-back there. And we love traveling, so that is the plan." Read the original article on People
