International cosmetics giant Coty has opted to retain OMD in the U.S. for media planning and buying, per sources, after a protracted review that began 10 months ago.

In addition, the client awarded the Omnicom shop Canada, U.K. and Ireland duties in a competition that was expanded to include the four English language countries in one package.

Like many marketers, New York-based Coty slashed its ad spending during the recession.

Last year it spent $75 million in domestic measured media, down almost 40 percent from approximately $120 million in 2008, per Nielsen.
