NEW YORK Verizon Wireless has opened a review for creative chores on its ad account, the client confirmed. Estimated billings are more than $300 million.

Brenda Raney, a representative for the Bedminster, N.J.-based client, declined comment on whether a consultant will be used, but said media duties, now handled by Publicis Groupe’s Zenith Media, are unaffected.

At the end of 2003, Interpublic Group’s McCann-Erickson and its sibling, the incumbent, Lowe, had a creative shootout for the account, but no assignment was ever made, and those shops were still awaiting a decision, sources said.
