St Luke's and The Nest net BAA Retail

BAA is consolidating all its above- and below-the-line activity for its airport shops into St Luke's and The Nest, the agency's brand design sister operation.

The move by BAA Retail is intended to bring greater synergy to all of its advertising, sales promotion and point-of-sale activity.

The aim is to build on the current success of BAA's retail operations, which reported a 5.1 per cent increase in third-quarter income to £145 million, representing a rise of almost 1 per cent in spending per passenger to £4.41.

This performance was achieved despite the admission of ten more countries to the European Union, which reduced the potential for tax-free travel, and the effects of the weak dollar for US travellers. Retail sales account for one-third of BAA's revenue.

St Luke's pitched for the assignment against Triangle. BAA Retail's current roster shops, Delaney Lund Knox Warren & Partners and Saatchi & Saatchi, did not contest the business.
