Tourism NZ searching for new agency

Tourism New Zealand, from which M&C Saatchi resigned following the TA win, is meanwhile well along in the search for its new agency. Five agencies are believed to have been shortlisted, including TA incumbent Whybin\TBWA, Saatchi & Saatchi, FCB, DDB and at least one other smaller agency. Presentations are believed to be scheduled soon, with a decision not far off. M&C Saatchi also announced Carat would handle TA's media duties.
