Like the media reviews of SC Johnson and Wells Fargo, Coca-Cola's U.S. contest is a roster-shops-only affair.

Incumbent MediaVest is competing against three agencies that handle Coke business overseas: MediaCom, Carat and UM,  according to a Coke representative. MediaCom, for example, works for the company in Mexico and the U.K.

Coke's U.S. media spending exceeded $400 million last year, up from nearly $320 million in 2013, according to Kantar Media.

The assignment in play encompasses media planning and buying across traditional and digital media.
