More motors action as agencies rev up ahead of the pitch for Land Rover’s UK CRM account.

BETC London, CHI & Partners, DLKW Lowe and Grey London will each have their initial meetings with United Biscuits, which owns brands including Jaffa Cakes and McVitie’s, this week ahead of the Observatory-managed pitch process.
