Mondial Relay by InPost Hands Its Social Media to Agency Gangstères
TL;DR: Parcel-locker network Mondial Relay by InPost has appointed French agency Gangstères to run its social media content and strategy, as part of a broader brand reinvention.
A Logistics Brand Invests in Social
Mondial Relay by InPost named agency Gangstères to take charge of its social media content and strategy, in an announcement reported on 16 September 2026. Gangstères will own both the creative and the community management.
It is a notable choice for a category — parcel delivery — that has traditionally treated communication as a functional afterthought.
Part of a Bigger Reinvention
The appointment comes as Mondial Relay pushes a wider brand reinvention, including a Tour de France-linked repositioning earlier in 2026 and plans for heavy French investment and thousands of new lockers.
Social is being wired into that transformation rather than tacked on — a sign the brand sees community as central, not cosmetic.
Why Delivery Brands Are Getting Louder
For logistics players, brand and community management are becoming genuine differentiators. When the core service is a commodity — a parcel arrives, or it doesn't — perception, tone and responsiveness on social are where preference is won.
A dedicated social agency signals Mondial Relay wants a distinctive voice, not just a service desk that replies to complaints.
Marketing Minute's Take
In commodity categories, the brand that sounds human wins disproportionate preference — because everything else is roughly equal. Appointing a specialist to own tone and community is the right instinct. The trap is using social only to firefight complaints; the payoff comes from building a voice people actually want to follow.
