This win adds to the current traditional media buying assignment that Carat has held since 2010, the year after Pfizer acquired Wyeth for a reported $68 million. Julie DeMaio, who will oversee the account, said, "We're thrilled to expand our assignment with PCH. The opportunities that now exist to truly redefine media and drive their business forward are endless."
