"As part of our business strategy, we identified the need to consolidate our online activity within one agency and McCann’s was by far the strongest contender," said James Henry, head of e-commerce at Flying Brands.

The agency’s been brought in to develop the company as it takes forward large growth targets for 2009. McCann will be managing the online media with a focus on pay per click, search engine optimisation and affiliate activities.

The first brand to receive the treatment will be Flying Flowers.

"This is a great win for McCann’s that demonstrates the strengths and capabilities of our digital offering," added Sharon Palmer, head of online media for MECH.
