Xian Janssen shifts two brands to Bates141

BEIJING - Bates141 has secured the creative duties for two of Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Xian Janssen Pharmaceutical's over-the-counter products, following a pitch contested by two other agencies.

DMG was the incumbent for Motilium, which has a reported media spend of US$30 million, though it could not be confirmed whether it attempted to defend the account.

Motilium (a stomach motility drug) is currently the most successful OTC medication across categories in China. The second brand, Mylanta, is a new antacid.
