NEW YORK Weight Watchers has hired consultancy Pile and Co. to lead a review of its estimated $70 million ad account.

WPP Group’s Young & Rubicam in New York is the incumbent. The agency won the business three years ago in a Pile-led review.

BrandBuzz, a unit of Y&R Brands, is expected to defend on Y&R’s behalf, per sources. A Y&R representative declined to comment.

Boston-based Pile confirmed that it had been hired to manage the competition but referred other questions to client officials, who could not immediately be reached.
