Despite not defending in an extended review, The Kaplan Thaler Group is poised to keep a hand in crafting ads for long-time client Aflac, according to sources.
 
The Publicis Groupe agency in New York, which created the brand’s iconic spokesduck, had parted with the supplemental insurance giant in December after Jeff Charney, Aflac’s CMO, put the account into review.
 
Charney has said he was consolidating the company’s business at Publicis agencies, with Digitas in the lead and MediaVest handling traditional media planning and buying activities.
