Six agencies appear to have made the cut for the first presentations for the £110m Tesco UK account: McCann, SapientNitro, VCCP, WCRS and WPP-owned Grey and JWT. The list may be added to but many people’s favourite Publicis seems to have been ruled out because sister agency Saatchi & Saatchi handles Asda (a long-time Publicis [...]

It’s always dangerous (indeed almost unheard of) to write off the mighty Tesco, the UK’s biggest retailer, but in the UK anyway the company does not seem to be able to pull the marketing levers with the same precision it used to. It has just reported a like for like sales drop of 0.9 per [...]

Sir Terry Leahy retires as CEO of Tesco today and, as ever, his timing is good. When he announced his impending retirement last year there was a degree of surprise. At 55 he’s still relatively young and, as one surprised commentator put it over the weekend, he doesn’t even get his pension for another three [...]
