TBWA and BBDO Asia offices are hoping to get more of the Mars business after the agencies' US offices picked up accounts that were until recently serviced by D'Arcy. TBWA regional chairman, Keith Smith, said: "We are hoping to meet with them (Mars) in the near future to talk about our Asia-Pacific network. At the same time, BBDO Asia-Pacific deputy chairman, Tom Kao, said: "We are very keen to extend our relationship with Mars. We will be making presentations and having discussions with them here in this region and in the United States."
