  • The California Lottery

The California Lottery has issued a request for proposals as it opens a review for its ad account, kicking off what is likely to be one of the most closely watched and hotly contested West Coast contests of the year.

The client spent $35 million on ads last year and nearly $100 million in major measured media from 2006-09, according to Nielsen. The contract now up for grabs will run for five years with a two-year extension option. The lottery's current lead creative partner, BBDO West in San Francisco, and its media shop, PHD in Los Angeles, both units of Omnicom Group, are expected to defend, the client said. The shops' contracts expire on Jan. 31, 2011. Reps at BBDO and PHD said their shops would participate.

Several other ad-related assignments, however, are not in review, including Hispanic chores (with Casanova Pendrill); Asian efforts (Time Advertising); African-American outreach (Muse Communications); and promotions (Alcone Marketing).

  • Bromley Communications

  • Miami Tourism 

Miami Tourism has assured tourists that their beaches are 100 per cent oil free. Assurance from Miami Tourism came after beaches in several regions of Florida reported Oil slick and tar balls.

Miami Tourism Chief said that what has happened in other regions hasn't happened in Miami. "We are good to business our beaches are clean and we are hosting tourists from several countries like Germany, Brazil and more." he said.

Miami is hoping that Visit Florida's $25 million ad campaign could help them fight such negativity. Florida Tourism is funding an TV and Internet Campaign that even there are some beaches effected by oil slick and tar balls none of them are closed. This ad campaign will also feature Miami as one of the destination that's ineffective of Oil Spill.
