Several sports brands area reviewing their media agency models, including adidas, who recently ended their 20-year long relationship with Carat and awarded their global media business to Mediacom. Converse also just wrapped their global media review – with Initiative winning the account – and New Balance appointed Mediahub as their US media agency. There are also a slew of creative accounts under review, including H&R Block, Danone, UnionPay and R3-led Cathay Pacific.
