Dieste Among Trio Trying to Succeed Ornelas on $5-6 Mil. Account
DALLAS–The winds of change continue to blow through the Taco Bell Corp.
The Irvine, Calif.-based Mexican-style fast-food chain is reviewing its Hispanic advertising account following the decision of Ornelas & Associates, Dallas, to resign after three years.
