The odds of the finalists in Merck's global creative review just improved.

The company has eliminated Saatchi & Saatchi and Deutsch, following agency presentations at Merck earlier this week. That leaves two contenders for a consumer products group assignment with annual media spending of about $50 million: Grey and Publicis.

The assignment involves creating overseas advertising for Dr. Scholl's and global ads for Miralax and an incontinence drug for women that’s shifting from prescription to over-the-counter sales.
