NEW YORK Bartle Bogle Hegarty here has landed creative duties on Coca-Cola’s Sprite following a “jump-ball” competition against Wieden + Kennedy, sources said.

The brand’s major media spending totaled nearly $25 million last year, according to Nielsen Monitor-Plus.

Sprite’s previous lead agency was MDC Partners’ Crispin Porter + Bogusky in Miami. Crispin landed Sprite in 2005 after a creative shootout with Ogilvy & Mather in New York, the brand’s incumbent lead shop at that time.

Sprite becomes BBH’s second Coke brand, along with Vitaminwater, which the Publicis Groupe-backed agency added following a pitch last month.
