UM, out of its offices in New York and Detroit, will handle planning and buying in both traditional and digital media. Nationwide spent more than $330 million on media last year, according to Nielsen.

UM, a unit of Interpublic Group, has worked for Nationwide since 2008 and was retained after another media review, back in 2009.
