Ongoing

Three is set to announce a winner for its CRM review imminently. The mobile network has enlisted the help of AAR to choose an agency to work alongside Wieden & Kennedy London and Gravity Road, which work on creative and social media respectively.

LloydsPharmacy is close to picking a shop to work on its advertising. The brand, owned by McKesson, approached agencies directly about the pitch. McCann Enterprise, The Brooklyn Brothers and VCCP are all in the running.

Marcus by Goldman Sachs, the savings bank that launched last year, will be running chemistry meetings next week as it hunts for a creative shop. The brand is working with AAR.

Save the Children is to choose an agency for its media account shortly. The charity is working with AAR and MediaSense as it consolidates its business, which was split across four shops, including John Ayling & Associates.
