BBH bags global LG Electronics

LONDON - LG Electronics is set to hand Bartle Bogle Hegarty its consolidated $350 million global brand and mobile communications business.

DDB, which was contending for the mobile phone business, was eliminated this morning.

The news brings to an end a ten-week pitch process that originally involved TBWA\Worldwide, Publicis Worldwide and Saatchi & Saatchi, which later pulled out owing to a conflict with Sony Ericcson.

The electronics giant is also scheduled to call a review of its pan-European media account out of Starcom.
Neither LG nor BBH could be reached for comment.
