Johnson & Johnson is reaching out beyond its lead creative agency on Tylenol, Interpublic Group’s Deutsch in New York, for new ideas on the brand, according to sources.
 
Executives from J&J’s McNeil Consumer Healthcare division are meeting with agencies this week, and are expected to make a decision by early February, per sources.
 
Deutsch is believed to be defending the business against as many as three agencies, said sources.
 
The company spent about $100 million in measured media supporting Tylenol during the first three-quarters of 2009, according to Nielsen.
