This month in agency reviews, several top automotive companies are reviewing key global accounts. It was reported at the end of last year that Ford was seeking to review their agency model for their global creative, digital and media business (all handled by WPP). Jaguar Land Rover also put their global media business in review, awarding the business to Dentsu after a 17-year long relationship with Mindshare. In China, NextEV Auto is reviewing their creative business, in a R3-led review. Other major reviews include Unilever’s global media planning account, JCPenney’s US creative business and Qantas global media, recently won by OMD.
