DDB has snatched two major accounts from FCB, worth about HKdollars
210 million (about US dollars 27 million) in billings.
The biggest win involved the Asia-Pacific account of network solutions
provider Nortel.
However, it was DDB's retaking of the Mass Transit Railway account in
Hong Kong which caused the biggest surprise - FCB had only held the
account for about 12 months after winning the business from DDB in a
pitch in January last year.
