Bob's to Name Broadcast Shop

Clothing retailer Bob’s Stores late last week met with four finalists in a review for its broadcast advertising assignment, sources said. The work, estimated at $5 million annually, will likely include TV and radio executions.

Finalists include Boston shops Clarke Goward, Connelly Partners, Velocity Advertising—the new agency created by Lisa Hickey who was formerly creative director of Boston’s Heater Advertising (now Red)—and one unidentified contender.

Bob’s Stores could not be reached for comment. The review is being led by Dave Murphy, a consultant based in Scituate, Mass.,
