DDB retains J&J LifeScan in Korea

SEOUL - Lee DDB has retained Johnson & Johnson's US$1 million LifeScan creative and media account, following a pitch that also included Saatchi & Saatchi.

Lee DDB has held the business for two years. Johnson & Johnson is reportedly seeking to increase awareness of the product - a glucose self-monitoring system - in the Korean market.

Les Edwards, vice-president and managing partner at Lee DDB, said that the agency would take a holistic approach to promoting the brand, including hardware and software. A new print campaign is due to roll out later this month.
