TAIPEI: McCann-Erickson Taiwan has won the NTdollars 30 million

(USdollars 910,747) New York Life account in a four-way pitch against

DDB Needham, Bates and incumbent FCB.



The account is due to change hands effective May 1, said McCann client

service director Hope Chang, adding that the agency won the business by

avoiding the tired "consequences" approach.



"Instead we said insurance puts you in control and let's you enjoy your

life and have a positive attitude," said Chang.



New York Life is the second largest foreign insurer in Taiwan, behind

Aetna-ING. Dominating the market are local insurers Cathay Life, Nanshan

and Hsingwang.
