Agencies competing for the business are believed to include domestic giants ADK and Hakuhodo, along with Fallon and the incumbent. Sources in the market have indicated that the review comprises all brands under the Nihon L’Oréal umbrella. While the exact value has not been confirmed, observers have described the account as “sizeable”.
