LOS ANGELES Coinstar has awarded its $4-5 million advertising business to Publicis, the company confirmed.

The Seattle agency won the creative account; Publicis Groupe’s Optimedia, Seattle, was assigned the media buying and planning.

The Bellevue, Wash.-based client, anticipating revenue of $173 million this year, markets self-service coin-sorting machines nationwide. Coinstar acknowledged yesterday that it was reviewing the account. The incumbent, Omnicom Group’s TBWA\Chiat\Day in Playa del Rey, Calif., resigned the business, sources said. TBWA\C\D declined comment.
