WPP’s Sir Martin Sorrell (left) already has a lot on his plate, but one thing he ought to take time out to reflect on is why one of his agencies didn’t get closer to winning the £110m Tesco account which went to Wieden+Kennedy. Two of them, JWT and RKCR/Y&R, were on the long list but [...]

Paul Weinberger, the creative who’s been key to the Tesco account at Lowe & Partners and now the The Red Brick Road, is leaving the agency. Intriguingly, though, he hasn’t said what he’s going to be doing. Weinberger, who’s also chairman of TRBR, says: “I’ve enjoyed a wonderfully collaborative relationship with Tesco over the last [...]

But don’t hold your breath for a result. This is going to be a long-drawn-out contest, meticulously refereed at every stage by agency intermediary Oystercatchers. Not a cosy inside job, pushed through on a nod and a wink from Tesco’s C Suite, as has tended to be the case in the past. The first stage, [...]

Paul Weinberger (pictured) is chairman of Tesco agency The Red Brick Road and the creative who’s nursed Tesco along for the past 20 years, first at Lowe Howard-Spink, then Lowe & Partners and then at breakaway The Red Brick Road. When Tesco followed Sir Frank Lowe and Weinberger to start-up TRBR seven years Weinberger is [...]

David Wood, a former European marketing at Kraft and before then a Unilever marketer, has been brought back from his current job as commercial director of Tesco in Hungary to head the embattled retailer’s UK marketing. He replaces Carolyn Bradley who’s been shuffled off into a UK brand role. It’s been evident for some years [...]

Tesco has been a marketing-driven company ever since Ian MacLaurin (now the Baron MacLaurin of Knebworth) took over as boss at the end of the 1970s. MacLaurin ditched the old Green Shield trading stamps and ‘pile it high, sell it cheap’ ethos along with its old ad agency Saatchi & Saatchi to move firmly upmarket [...]

You have to feel for Tesco CEO Phil Clarke (pictured), no sooner had he taken over from long-serving and highly successful predecessor Sir Terry Leahy, than UK retail sales fell off a cliff, hitting supermarket food sales too for the first time in decades. Tesco’s like-for-like food sales fell 0.9 per cent in the second [...]

We wrote earlier that DDB London wasn’t the happiest place at the moment with redundancies expected and it’s been hit by another body blow with the departure of four top creatives – Dave Henderson, Richard Denney, Christian Sewell and Andy McAneny – to Interpublic-owned DLKW Lowe. Henderson and Denney will be executive creative directors at [...]

UK supermarket giant Tesco has turned in another record set of figures for the year to February 26 2011 but disappointed the markets (and new CEO Philip Clarke) with a 0.7 per cent fall in UK sales over the past three months. 70 per cent of its profits growth came from its operations in continental [...]
