$250 Mil. in Lilly Planning Shifts to OMD

NEW YORK Omnicom Group’s OMD has picked up $250 million in planning chores from pharmaceutical client Eli Lilly & Co. without a review, according to sources.

Brands included are Cialis, Evista, Humalog, Effient and Byetta.

OMD already handles media buying on the Lilly account. The client spends an estimated $375 million on domestic ads annually, per sources.

Up to now, the shop also handled $90 million in planning for competing pharma company Schering Plough (including the Nasonex brand), but has given up that business to take on the larger Lilly planning assignment.
