WARREN, MICH. Interpublic Group’s Campbell-Ewald here has been retained by the U.S. Navy following a mandatory review, the agency confirmed today.

C-E had handled the Navy’s advertising for five years when its previous contract ended in 2005. At that time, the deal was renewed as a single-year contract with four optional years. C-E most recent Navy option lapsed in November.

The contract is worth $800 million over the course of five years. The Navy routinely spends at least $40 million annually in major measured media, per Nielsen.
