Barclays Bank hands account to McCann

JAKARTA - Barclays Bank has handed its above-the-line account in Indonesia to McCann Erickson and its below-the-line brief to local shop Blue Circle.

The agencies won the business after a pitch, but it is not known which other agencies were involved.

Last September Barclays bought the Indonesian bank Akita, which will be rebranded as Barclays Indonesia in the next few months. 

Bank Akita will form part of Barclays global retail and commercial banking (GRCB) emerging markets business.
