NEW YORK Pfizer brands at Bates worth a total of $260 million are shifting to WPP Group’s J. Walter Thompson, where they will be housed in a new division called, Health@JWT, an agency representative said.

The shift, which was expected [Adweek, July 28], follows last week’s close of WPP’s deal to buy Bates parent Cordiant Communications Group.

The incoming brands, which include Benadryl, Neosporin, Rolaids and Visine, join some $200 million worth of Pfizer business already at JWT, including Listerine, Efferdent and Tucks.
