H&R Block has hired VML, a Kansas City-based marketing agency, to handle its social media, the agency announced Thursday.

Block declined to release the value of the contract, which is for one year. The ad agency will direct the tax preparation firm’s social media strategy and social content creation.

That work had previously been handled by 360i .

VML has offices in 28 locations across six continents.
