SAN FRANCISCO–Two finalists have been chosen by telecommunications giant Sprint to compete for its consolidated interactive marketing account.





The duo named last week was Valentine-McCormick-Ligibel in Kansas City, Mo.; and Eagle River Interactive in Avon, Colo., sources said. Annual account billings are estimated at $10-15 million.





A third finalist, CKS Partners in Cupertino, Calif., withdrew from the review last week.





The client’s roster agencies, J. Walter Thompson in San Francisco and Grey Advertising in New , were among 16 shops from around the country initially invited to participate in the search, according to sources.
