Manning Gottlieb’s tenure at the top of the table didn’t last - despite
the fact that it picked up pounds 2 million worth of new business from
Virgin Express this month and hasn’t lost an account since June.
Our new league leader, BMP DDB, has an equally good track record (it
hasn’t lost an account since May) and had a blinder this month, pulling
in Barclaycard Direct (pounds 6 million), Autoglass (pounds 2 million)
and Dremel Power Tools (pounds 2 million) among others. TMD Carat,
having been shunted from the top last month by MGM, is hanging in at
number two with its sizeable pounds 4.7 million Tambrands win.
This month, John Ayling and Associates finally makes it into the top ten
thanks to its pounds 6 million Orbis Publishing win. One new brand name
to appear in the table is Banks Hoggins O’Shea. After setting up a
separate media department last month it has pulled in two high-spending
accounts, the Referendum Party (claimed pounds 13 million) and, more
recently, Kingsbury Interiors (pounds 1.7 million).
