Congratulations to Campbell Lace Beta, which has turned out not to be the first cuckoo of spring after all.
This start-up vehicle for the irrepressible Garry Lace and Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe founder Robert Campbell has just managed to win itself a sizeable slug of business, in the form of the £9m Thomas Cook account. It beat off Euro RSCG London, so this was scarcely a gifted account. News also reaches me that it has won Jackpot Joy, which was contested with Publicis, although I have no idea how much the account is worth.
The new agency opened its doors on May 1. Beta, by the way, is not a reference to a founding planner but internet jargon suggesting ‘work in progress’. More please, Robert and Garry.
Thanks, Stuart, for your enthusiastic words. We will attempt to deliver more news soon! Very best. Robert and Garry.
