Outdoor gear retailer Recreation Equipment Inc. has tapped McCann-Erickson’s Seattle office for an $11 million advertising trek aimed at bringing the 60-store chain to new heights.

The assignment, which propels agency billings over the $100 million mark, came after an open review that also included Seattle agencies DDB and Copacino, sources said. The former has handled media buying for REI; the latter created banner ads for the retailer’s Web site.

Prior to naming McCann as its creative agency, REI produced its ads in-house.
