Ongoing pitches

The Post Office held its advertising pitches on Tuesday at its headquarters in the City. Incumbent MullenLowe London is fighting off competition from Unlimited and Ogilvy. The Post Office is looking for a partner to help the organisation position itself as a place to do more than send post. Emma Springham, its chief marketing officer, is running the process through the Official Journal of the European Union. A result is expected in two weeks' time. The media planning agency is Carat and the buying shop is Manning Gottlieb OMD.
