Names Finalists for General Account but Cancels Minority Review
DALLAS–In a surprise move, the Texas Lottery Commission cancelled its minority advertising competition on the same day it narrowed the review for its $30-40 million general market account to four candidates.
Agencies that made oral presentations last week and remain in contention are: Fogarty Klein & Partners and McCann-Erickson Southwest, both in Houston; Ogilvy & Mather in Dallas; and Regian & Wilson of Fort Worth, Texas.
But 21 other agencies that competed for the minority advertising portion of the business were stunned to receive a two-sentence fax on June 16, summarily cancelling the request for proposals.
“We’re not happy campers,” said Kay Williams, president of KWGC in Dallas.
