(which handles Gatorade), said sources. BBDO is also said to be working against the brief. On Monday afternoon, a Pepsi representative declined to comment, explaining in an e-mail that "we don't comment on speculative developments regarding agency partners or anyone else." TBWA\C\D and BBDO declined comment. Major measured media spending on Pepsi's namesake brand exceeded $60 million last year and $40 million through the first seven months of 2008, according to Nielsen Monitor-Plus. Those figures do not include online advertising expenditures. Pepsi Reaches Out to ShopsLooks beyond BBDO for ideas on flagship brandOct 13, 2008
