Citi's global media review fits the "members-only" approach of other recent searches in which outside agencies are not welcome.
In the case of Citi, whose global media spending is estimated at $450 million, it's a two-horse race. Primary U.S. incumbent MEC is competing against Publicis Groupe's Starcom, which handles media planning and buying in overseas markets, according to sources.
