Maybank reviews advertising in Singapore

Maybank was ranked as Malaysia's most valuable brand in an Interbrand survey in November. But in Singapore, the company is perceived an underdog and trails rivals such as DBS, UOB and OCBC.

A pitch short-list has yet to be drawn up for the account, which is currently handled by Saatchi Lab.

The review is being handled by R3.
