North American Breweries has shifted creative responsibilities for two brands to Ammirati after a review.

The New York shop will take on Labatt beer and Seagram’s Escapes, a line of fruit-flavored malt beverages that launched in 1985. Ammirati succeeds the Toronto office of Publicis on the assignments.

Combined media spending on the brands totaled nearly $5 million last year, the bulk of which—$3.5 million—went toward Labatt, according to Nielsen. Those figures don’t include online spending.

Sources identified the other finalists for the business as Pavone in Harrisburg, Penn.
