FCB N.Y.'s Universal Job In Play

Universal Studios Escape has split with Foote, Cone & Belding on the creative portion of its $20 million account.
As a result, sources said, Universal executives have been in informal talks with agencies nationwide on becoming the new lead shop for the growing theme park in Orlando, Fla.
Universal is spending an estimated $2.6 billion to transform the Orlando operation from a venue for one-day excursions into a destination resort. In addition to the Universal Studios Florida theme park, the company is building Universal Studios Islands of Adventure, an entertainment complex, CityWalk and five hotels.
