Discount-brokerage firm Quick & Reilly/Fleet Securities has dropped Publicis and will start a review for its account, sources said.
The New York shop has handled creative and media duties for the Palm Beach, Fla., client for the past three years.
Quick & Reilly, with $800 million in revenues in 1998, ranks third among discount brokerages, behind Charles Schwab & Co. and Fidelity Brokerage Services, per business-information service Hoover’s Online.
