J. WALTER THOMPSON Most Likely to Get Ford Credit Card Biz

If everything goes as planned, J. Walter Thompson/Chicago will likely be named to handle Ford Motor Co.’s upcoming co-branded credit card with Citibank, sources said late last week.
However one senior official warned late Friday that a final decision had not been made as to which JWT office would handle the business.
But insiders say that Thompson’s Chicago office has already been working on initial creative and that an announcement on the agency could come as early as Feb.
