Reckitt Benckiser (RB), one of the leading advertisers, has initiated a media pitch estimated to be around Rs 400-450 crore. The pitch process reportedly kicked off a couple of weeks ago and leading agencies including incumbent IPG Mediabrands and Publicis are believed to be contesting it fiercely.

One of the leading global FMCG companies, RB had appointed Initiative from the IPG Mediabrands umbrella as its media partner in December 2013 on the back of a global media review.  Since then IPG has successfully retained the account despite annual pitches. Prior to IPG, the media duties were handled by Zenith Optimedia.

Meanwhile, the FMCG major that has a presence across 60 markets globally, in a recent development, gave part of its digital duties to Zenith Optimedia. As per industry sources, RB has divided its digital portfolio into two parts—Health, and Home & Hygiene. While Initiative will continue to manage Home & Hygiene, the first portfolio will be handled by Zenith Optimedia from January 2019. The move was an outcome of a global decision without any pitch being called. 

exchange4media reached out to all the stakeholders but did not get a response from any of them at the time of filing this story.
