Devon Energy Selects Cole & Weber

LOS ANGELES WPP Group’s Cole & Weber United has won creative and media duties for oil and gas exploration and production company Devon Energy Group, the agency confirmed.

“This is a cool opportunity because Devon Energy is a huge company with a lot to say—not only about what they do, but how they do it,” said Mike Doherty, president of the Seattle shop. “We’re going to be mounting their first public visibility and brand campaign.”

Doherty said the agency was initially referred to the client through the WPP network, and it subsequently defeated undisclosed shops in a review.
