CHICAGO–Levitz Furniture in Boca Raton, Fla., said it will announce this week plans for its approximately $25 million broadcast ad account following the closing of incumbent agency David Cravit & Associates here.





Unable to pick up a client to cover the loss last year of Montgomery Ward, chief executive officer David Cravit shut down his shop last week and looked on as the once strong agency’s remaining assets were parceled out to creditors by an outside liquidator.





The agency resigned Ward in the midst of the retailer’s review for its consolidated $50 million account (ultimately awarded to DDB Needham Chicago) to take on Levitz, said Cravit.
