BOSTON MindShare has confirmed adding media buying and planning duties for Kmart without a review.

The work, worth an estimated $200 million, moved to the New York-based agency from its WPP Group sister shop MediaCom.

MindShare already handles media chores for Kmart parent Sears, Roebuck and Co., which last year spent more than $800 million overall in measured media, per TNS Media Intelligence. Media spending on the Kmart brand was $190 million.

Sears and Kmart merged one year ago.
