NEW YORK–Gillette is considering moving Duracell’s estimated $60 million media buying account to BBDO here in time for the upfront TV selling season, sources said.





Ogilvy & Mather Advertising, New York, is the incumbent. BBDO is the lead agency for Gillette, the shaving and grooming products company that acquired Duracell last fall.





The media move would represent a desire on the part of Gillette to consolidate buying at a single shop, according to sources.





Duracell representative Jill Fallon denied the move last week.
