Kao USA has tapped Arnold in New York to handle the creative responsibilities for global brands John Frieda, Jergens, Bioré and Curél.
The Havas agency won the business following a review. Media spending was more than $38 million last year, according to Nielsen.
Arnold will take the reins from Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal + Partners, which agreed to a mutual separation from the company earlier this year. KBS+P won the business in 2003, when annual media spending was almost $100 million.
