Ongoing reviews

Sport England has held chemistry meetings with agencies in the last week as part of its advertising account review. FCB Inferno is the incumbent. 

The deadline has now passed for agencies to submit their credentials for the Butlin's ad account. Now, the incumbent, is not defending the business. Haystack is running the review for Butlin's.

Creative submissions went in last week for the Department for Education's teacher-training comms business. FCB Inferno most recently created the National College for Teaching and Leadership's "I chose to teach" campaign.

Anthony Nolan, the blood cancer charity, held chemistry meetings with agencies last week about its advertising requirements.
