BBDO Thailand drops Pizza Hut

BANGKOK - BBDO Bangkok has relinquished control of its long-held 140 million baht (US$4 million) Pizza Hut account.

BBDO declined to pitch for a statutory review, and the business was awarded to DraftFCB Thailand. Also believed to be in contention were Ogilvy & Mather, Idea Avenue and Y&R.

The agency declined to comment on the news, although non-BBDO sources claim the agency had lost patience with the client over strategy.
