ABN Amro pitches creative

HONG KONG - Presentations for ABN Amro's creative account are expected to get underway this week, with M&C Saatchi, DDB and Y&R thought to be in the running for the business, along with several other agencies.

ABN Amro, which recently selected Carat to handle its US$16 million media business across 16 markets (Media, 12 January), is looking to consolidate its agency roster after previously working with a disparate number of shops.

The review was sparked by a need to refine the company’s agency relationships ahead of a wider branding campaign, set down for the second half of 2007.
