Having been wholly bought out by the French-based Havas group during the AdFocus review period, perhaps it's not surprising that its two new accounts - Chivas and the Lycée Francais (pro bono) - should both also be French.

The agency was launched only in 2007 so it says something that last year it was awarded three global assignments on behalf of the Reckitt & Benckiser household goods group.

There has also been a smattering of Loeries and Ad of the Month awards. But reality still kicks in occasionally. It won only one of four pitches it contested last year.
