Berlin Cameron Defiant In Loss

In a month, one-time hot shop Berlin Cameron United lost two of its top accounts. But chairman Andy Berlin last week said the 8-year-old agency is “still profitable” and “we’re not going away.”

WPP Group acquired the New York agency for an estimated $40 million in 2001, when revenue was estimated at $20 million, sources said. By the end of 2003, the shop claimed $750 million in billings. Following the Samsung and Coke losses this month, its remaining accounts—Pfizer’s Zyrtec, Boost Mobile, White Wave Silk soymilk, Nestlé’s Tidy Cats, Newell Rubbermaid, New York Life, The Wall Street Journal and Pernod Ricard—spent $105 in 2004 and $80 million through August this year, according to Nielsen Monitor-Plus.
