United Airlines heard proposals late last week from Young & Rubicam and Fallon Worldwide on how each would manage the company’s $100 million global advertising account, sources said.

One executive close to the review said the airline’s choice is between global reach and creative firepower. “Y&R has a strong network,” the source said. “Fallon is great creative.”

The meetings were characterized as “discussions” about how the agencies would manage the global account, rather than straight pitches, sources said.
