Ogilvy in Late Bid for Goldman

After selecting two finalists in a review–D’Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles and Mullen–Goldman Sachs is quietly talking to Ogilvy & Mather about taking on its $25 million advertising account.
A decision was expected two weeks ago after Mullen, Wenham, Mass., and D’Arcy, New York, made their final pitches to the client. But Ogilvy’s overtures prolonged the process, sources said.
Ogilvy, which is owned by the WPP Group, is “negotiating at the highest (executive) levels,” with the investment company, one source said.
