Coca-Cola has moved its global and UK advertising brief for its sponsorship of the 2012 London Olympics from SapientNitro into LBi.
Coca-Cola: ad promoting the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay
The agency won the brief following a competitive pitch, which is understood to have included incumbent SapientNitro.
SapientNitro was appointed to the business just under a year ago. It was run from the agency’s London and Atlanta offices.
LBi will now work alongside Coca-Cola’s lead agency Mother, which was appointed by Coke to work on the Olympics in 2009 and retains its lead agency status on the account.
Last month, Coca-Cola unveiled a new spot to highlight its role as Presenting Partner of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay.
The ad aimed to create excitement about the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay, celebrating the role young people play in society, and encouraging people to nominate a Future Flame.
LBi declined to comment.

The console is dead: The Socialisation of Gaming
The games console as we know it is dead. When Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One earlier this week, it was clear that this was more than a device that would enable you to play Call of Duty or FIFA – this was, in Microsoft’s own words, “an all-in-one home entertainment system”.
