Big Communications has successfully defended its BioLife Plasma Services account, holding off three undisclosed Midwest shops in a review.

The Birmingham, Ala., agency retains television, print, outdoor and direct-mail creative and media planning chores. Media buying, previously handled by the shop, remains under review and is likely to go in-house, according to Will McKee, agency vice president of account services.

The Deerfield, Ill.-based client, which operates plasma-collection centers in 10 markets, placed its estimated $2 million advertising ac-count in review after parent company Baxter International of Chicago established an additional 20 territories in the Midwest.

“We’d worked with the original company when they were Community Bio-Resources and in only 15 markets,” said McKee.
