In addition, Grey West will now handle create ads for BMW’s national certified pre-owned business. The assignment includes traditional advertising, interactive ads, direct marketing and promotional efforts, according to a Grey representative.

Previously, creative duties on BMW’s four regions were split among four shops: WPP Group’s Grey West (Western), Omnicom Group’s GSD&M Idea City in Austin, Texas (Central) and Publicis Groupe units Publicis in New York (Eastern) and Publicis Mid-America in Dallas (Southern).

The regional contest came down to Grey West (which pitched with help from its New York office) and Publicis in New York and Dallas, said sources.
