PHD Wins The Gap

NEW YORK PHD has won broadcast buying duties for The Gap following a review, the client confirmed.

The Omnicom media network was already the incumbent on the client’s Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic brands, the client said.

The San Francisco-based client spent $245 million on broadcast in 2002, per TNS/CMR. PHD prevailed against Grey Global Group’s MediaCom; Havas’ Media Planning Group, both New York; and Publicis Groupe’s Starcom, Chicago, Gap’s outdoor buying agency.

PHD initially pitched in concert with New York indpendent Corinthian Media, but the client said PHD has been awarded the business.
