NEW YORK–In a series of moves involving some of their major brands, Whitehall-Robins has eliminated Young & Rubicam in New York from its U.S. agency roster.

W-R has shifted creative and media duties for its Advil brand, which also includes children’s and cold and sinus medications, to roster shop Grey Worldwide without a review, sources said. The estimated $80 million in business had been handled by Y & R since 1985.

Grey’s MediaCom will handle media planning.
