New YORK—A little history may have gone a long way toward deciding Gateway’s estimated $250 million media buying and planning review in favor of Initiative Media last week.

Initiative, Los Angeles, prevailed after a two-month search that included several national media agencies, including New York shops Media Planning and incumbent Universal McCann. The company has decided to keep creative in-house.

“We are extremely pleased to continue building our business with a marquee name like Gateway,” said Carolyn Bivens, Initiative’s president and COO.
