Ongoing

Tui is expected to shortlist agencies this week for its global creative account after holding chemistry meetings at the end of last month. The travel brand is on the hunt for a global creative agency to "define a unifying brand purpose". Agencies on the longlist include Fold7, Leo Burnett, New Commercial Arts and incumbent VMLY&R.

Shops vying for the Kopparberg ad account have been preparing for chemistry meetings this week. The Swedish fruit cider brand called the review last month and has previously worked with several agencies. AAR is assisting with the pitch.

Reviews

Private healthcare provider Bupa is reviewing its UK media planning and buying account having parted ways with WPP's Wavemaker after almost 10 years. The review, which is currently at chemistry stage, is being assisted by Ebiquity as Bupa looks for a new, long-term partner media agency. Wavemaker was not invited to repitch, but ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 understands WPP has suggested putting forward alternative Group M agencies to be part of the process.

The International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations is reviewing for an agency to create an upcoming digital media campaign to promote confidence in potential vaccines for Covid-19. The review was launched at the end of September and the trade association is hoping to complete the process within a month, according to a source familiar with the review.
