Bates tipped for Remy's Asia account
Remy Martin is thought to be on the verge of awarding its regional creative assignment to Bates Asia, with the French cognac maker allocating US$10 million to relaunch its VSOP and XO brands regionally. China is expected to be the lead market, with Taiwan, Hong Kong and Thailand to follow. JWT and Nitro also pitched for the account, while incumbent Euro RSCG declined to pitch.
