BBDO has added its third Mars assignment in recent months, picking up global creative chores for Uncle Ben’s.

Media spending on the brand in the U.S. alone has been in the $20 million range in recent years, sans digital, per Nielsen. TBWA was the domestic incumbent.

The move comes as part of Mars’ ongoing reorganization of its brand assignments among its primary partners such as BBDO, TBWA and DDB, all part of Omnicom, and SapientNitro, an independent shop.

Energy BBDO added Wrigley Extra in February, while the main agency pulled in Snickers late last year.
