NEW YORK WPP Group’s Young & Rubicam has won the ad account of Weight Watchers International, the consultant running the search has confirmed.

The review came down to Y&R here and crosstown shop TBWA\Chiat\Day, an Omnicom Group agency, sources said. The client spends about $45 million annually on ads.

Interpublic Group’s Lowe, the media incumbent, also a finalist, had been eliminated earlier, according to sources [Adweek Online, Nov. 11].

Pile and Co., the consultancy in Boston, guided the process.
