NEW YORK Athletic footwear giant Adidas-Saloman has consolidated its estimated $200 million global media business at Aegis Group’s Carat following a review, sources said.

The search was launched in February, just one month after Adidas acquired Reebok for $3.8 billion.

Four contenders had been vying for the combined media chores. They were: Carat (the lead media agency for Adidas); the Omnicom Group team of OMD and PHD (both Reebok shops); Publicis Groupe’s Starcom; and WPP Group’s MediaCom, according to sources.
