Mindshare N.A. Gains Momentum

Since he was promoted to CEO of WPP Group’s Mindshare North America six months ago, Phil Cowdell and his team have quietly won about $500 million in new media assignments, including Farmers Insurance ($100 million), Sun Products ($60 million) and just last week, Skyy Spirits, which spends about $10 million on ads annually, according to Nielsen.
 
And the shop, which had U.S. billings of $8.7 billion and revenue of $350 million last year, is also involved in a handful of ongoing new business pitches with another $500 million in billings at stake.
