ATLANTA BB&T said it is talking to several undisclosed agencies as it searches for a new shop to handle its advertising account.

The incumbent, Interpublic Group’s Howard, Merrell & Partners in Raleigh, N.C., said it would not defend the account. The shop has worked for the Winston-Salem, N.C., bank since 1995.
