FCB West is the new creative lead agency for Ghirardelli Chocolate Co., taking over from Interpublic Group sibling Lowe Campbell Ewald, which handled the account since 2006.
The assignment shifted after a review in which other finalists included Grey, Cutwater and Butler, Shine, Stern & Partners, according to sources. Lowe Campbell Ewald did not defend.
Media spending on the brand exceeded $25 million last year, according to Nielsen. A new campaign from FCB is expected to launch next year.
Executives at Ghirardelli said they were impressed by FCB’s track record in the consumer products category for clients like Del Monte and Kikkoman.
