Mother wins $240m Burger King and debuts with spots for anything other than burgers

Mother wins $240m Burger King and debuts with spots for anything other than burgers

By Stephen Foster on February 20, 2013

Well that’s what they do these days – burgers bring in the punters but coffee etc is the message you want to send out. Which is what Mother New York is doing in its first campaign for Burger King since winning (yesterday) its $240m US account. Mind you, the Burger King account is not the [...]

W+K London back on the case for new Honda Civic

W+K London back on the case for new Honda Civic

By Stephen Foster on January 21, 2013

Honda seems to be in a bit of a mess at the moment; laying off 800 workers at its UK plant while upscale rival Jaguar Land Rover is adding them. And the company is reviewing its creative agency in the US while giving the European launch of its new CR-V SUV to Mcgarrybowen’s new operation [...]

Dentsu boss Tim Andree sets out new China strategy

Dentsu boss Tim Andree sets out new China strategy

By Stephen Foster on January 16, 2013

China and Japan aren’t always the best of pals (that’s enough serious political analysis for now) and Japanese marcoms giant Dentsu has therefore found it difficult to expand in its neighbour’s huge market. The traditional Dentsu model, providing absolutely everything including its own media channels, hasn’t worked very well anywhere else; other countries like to [...]

Agencies roll their sleeves up for some extra Christmas homework as $700m Honda reviews

Agencies roll their sleeves up for some extra Christmas homework as $700m Honda reviews

By Staff on December 6, 2012

Those agencies without a big car account will be preparing to work overtime at Christmas as Honda reviews its $500m Honda and near-$200m Acura accounts in the US. Both accounts have been with indie agency RPA since 1986 and it would be a possibly fatal blow to RPA if they were to move. RPA is [...]

Big boost for Mcgarrybowen in Europe as it wins Toblerone from Mondelez

By Staff on November 13, 2012

Mcgarrybowen may be having a few hiccups in the US, losing Bud Light and maybe Burger King – you never know with BK, but its new London-based European operation seems to have got off to a good start with the launch of Honda’s Civic in Europe and now the global account for Toblerone, formerly handled [...]

Budweiser in, Heineken out at AKQA in the US

Budweiser in, Heineken out at AKQA in the US

By Angie Dean on November 2, 2012

Anheuser-Busch InBev has named AKQA as its US digital agency for Budweiser, Bud Light and Stella Artrois, replacing Heineken at the WPP-own company. Heineken is in the process of moving its digital work to above-the-line agency Wieden+Kennedy. In US terms AB InBev is much bigger than Heineken although Heineken is one of the fastest-growing imports. [...]

Bud Light win boosts new Anomaly Canada agency

By Angie Dean on August 28, 2012

Bud Light owner InBev is continuing to ring the changes on its key brand, moving the Canadian account to Anomaly’s new Toronto office a few weeks after dumping Mcgarrybowen in the US after just eight months in favour of roster agency Translation. Anomaly, which sold a majority stake to marcoms group MDC Partners a year [...]

Bud Light dumps Mcgarrybowen after eight months

By Stephen Foster on August 7, 2012

Wouldn’t life be great without clients? Which probably isn’t something you hear very often at top-performing US agency Mcgarrybowen as its client service is supposed to be one of the strengths that has attracted numerous big clients – and owner Dentsu – to the agency since it was started by Madison Avenue veterans John McGarry [...]

Can anything - client conflicts, another bidder - derail the Aegis /Dentsu deal?

Can anything – client conflicts, another bidder – derail the Aegis /Dentsu deal?

By Stephen Foster on July 15, 2012

Aegis CEO Jerry Buhlmann (left) had an interview in the Sunday Times Business News today (there’s no point in providing a link as the Times paywall is a drawbridge) saying, inter alia, that there was no conflct between his giant media buying contract with General Motors and Dentsu’s Toyota, that key shareholder Vincent Bollore was [...]
