Carat reappointed to Guinness task

 Guinness UDV has reappointed Carat to its £65m planning and buying account after asking the agency to take part in a non-competitive review.

The group, whose brands include Bailey's and Smirnoff, has decided to retain the agency, which has handled the business for the past four years.

A media review was expected when the company appointed Kester Fielding as new head of media procurement last year.

Guinness UDV client director at Carat, Dan Benedict, said: "We look forward to further consolidating the positions of the Guinness UDV portfolio."

Carat's work with the group includes the Bailey's sponsorship of  Sex and the City, transforming the brand from an older person's drink into a girl's drink, and the launch of Smirnoff Ice and Guinness Extra Cold.
