Saatchi & Saatchi has won its first Hutchison account in the

Asia-Pacific region.



The agency picked up priceline.com, a joint venture between Hutchison

and US-based priceline.com, which offers consumers preferential prices

on a wide range of products and services including travel, car hire and

furniture.



The account is believed to be worth HK$70 million (about

US$9 million) in terms of billings.



Saatchis beat O&M and DDB, which are Hutchison's main agencies, in a

fiercely-contested pitch.
