Euro RSCG Out Of Intel Review

Havas’ Euro RSCG appeared to be cut from Intel’s estimated $300 million-plus global marketing-services review last week, after the client told contenders it had narrowed its search to agencies from WPP, Omnicom and Interpublic, dropping Havas and Publicis, sources said.

But the client was being mysterious—one review insider said “murky”—about the status of its 14-year incumbent, sources said, because it is sensitive to the pressure Euro parent Havas is facing as it simultaneously defends Intel and media agency MPG’s Volkswagen business and deals with dissent on its board.
