Two incumbents triumphed last week in separate reviews for the Oklahoma and New Mexico state tour-ism accounts.

Ackerman-Mc-Queen faced virtually no opposition in its bid to retain the business of the Oklahoma Tourism & Recreation De-partment. The Ok-lahoma City agency has held the account for 10 years.

Oklahoma’s request for proposal did not attract in-state interest. Only one agency—Ocean Media of Huntington Beach, Calif.—submitted an unsolicited, eleventh-hour bid.

“We considered rebidding, but the chances of getting more responses [were small],” said a spokesperson for the state.
