Ongoing reviews
Agencies are waiting to hear the results of creative and media reviews held by mail-order health-supplement brand Healthspan. The brand awarded its integrated account to VCCP in 2016; VCCP is taking part in the media pitch, but not creative. The creative pitch is down to the final two agencies, And Rising and Isobel, with Creature and Big Al’s Creative Emporium eliminated in an earlier round. A result in the media review is imminent.
