M&C scoops £34m Jameson ad task

by Kunal Dutta, Campaign 03-Aug-07

Pernod Ricard has appointed M&C Saatchi to the £34 million global advertising account for its Jameson Irish whiskey brand.

The agency won the business after a shoot-out against Fred Farid
Lambert, following a five-month pitch process, which was handled by
Agency Assessments International.

M&C Saatchi will work on Jameson's communications on a global basis,

excluding the US. BDH\TBWA was the last UK agency to do any Jameson

above-the-line work.

Wieden & Kennedy Amsterdam and BDH\TBWA were knocked out of the pitch
earlier this year.

The review comes as Jameson plans to increase its global spend on
advertising and promotions to £34 million.

M&C Saatchi declined to comment. Jameson denied a decision had been
made.
