NEW YORK Philips Electronics has chosen Aegis Group’s Carat, the incumbent, for its $600 million global media account after a review, the client has confirmed.

Carat overcame WPP Group’s Mediaedge:cia in the
final round. Omnicom Media Group and Publicis Groupe’s Zenith Optimedia were dropped from contention in January.

The company spends about $100 million annually on ads in the U.S.

Carat won a consolidation review for the global account in 2001, with estimated spending at that time of $600 million.
