Pharma giant Pfizer has opted to retain Carat as its media agency after a review, the client has confirmed.

The company spent $1.3 billion on ads in 2009, and $600 million during the first six months of this year, according to Nielsen. 

The review marks the second big pharma reassessment handed down in as many days. Yesterday, GlaxoSmithKline opted to switch shops after a review, awarding its $700 million U.S. assignment to Omicom’s PHD. WPP’s MediaCom was the incumbent.
