American Express has selected Wieden + Kennedy to handle creative responsibilities on the financial giant's Open subsidiary.

The selection follows a review in which the other finalists were Ogilvy & Mather, Leo Burnett, Droga5 and the incumbent, Crispin Porter + Bogusky. Pile + Co. in Boston managed the process.

Media spending on the brand exceeded $36 million last year, down from $52 million in 2010, according to Nielsen. Those figures do not include online spending. 

CP+B had handled the business since 2007.
