Reviews

English Heritage is reviewing its direct and digital account ahead of a push to recruit new members. According to a tender published through the Official Journal of the European Union, the business is worth a minimum of £1.5m a year for three years (with an option to extend the contract by a further two years). Pitches are scheduled for mid-October. Havas Helia is the incumbent. English Heritage recently hired Saffron as its new brand agency and Karmarama works on the charity's advertising, and both are unaffected by the review. AKA remains as the media planning and buying agency. English Heritage did not reply to a request for comment before publication.
