WASHINGTON — Leo Burnett has hired a Washington law firm to lobby Congress on its behalf regarding the U.S. Army’s $95 million account. The move comes as some lawmakers consider holding hearings on Burnett’s handling of the contract.
Burnett said it previously hired Patton Boggs to help the agency sort through government-contract issues after Burnett won the Army account. It called on the firm again after lawmakers recently raised concerns about the contract.
Lawmakers have questioned the fees the Chicago agency pays its subcontractors on the account, as well as the amount the Army allocates for ethnic marketing.
