Wieden + Kennedy London managing director Neil Christie denied reports that Nokia has sent out an RFI for its global smartphone business, currently at the agency. Christie said his Nokia marketing clients denied that speculation and also told him advertising for the marketer's mobile phone remains at W+K and has not moved to Fallon, as was reported in Campaign.

"I've been told there is no Nokia smartphone review, no pitches being planned," Christie said. "Nokia confirmed we are the agency of record; we were briefed yesterday for more work."
