Y&R defended and DDB was the other finalist in a review that began in May 2010. TBWA and DDB entered the picture earlier this year, after BBDO and mcgarrybowen dropped out.

In making the hire, Roxanne Taylor, Accenture's chief marketing and communications officer, cited TBWA's "creative talent and understanding of our target audience."
