Ferrero U.S.A. is in the late stages of a creative review of its Tic Tac brand, with three shops awaiting a selection, according to sources.

The incumbent, Merkley + Partners in New York, is believed to be defending against two other agencies that could not be ascertained.

Tic Tac’s media spending approached $14 million in 2013, according to Kantar Media. All told, Ferrero, whose other brands include its namesake Ferrero Rocher chocolate and Nutella, spent about $55 million in media last year.

Media responsibilities are not in play and remain at PHD in New York.
