to work with the best to do this,” said Boone. The agencies join Unilever’s existing creative partners Naked, Razor, DDB, Lowe and McCann, and other digital and aligned agencies.

hard to believe this is anything other than an utter joke.
it would be interesting to see how they react to one of these agencies taking on some competitive business of their own, given they are working with more than 10 mainstream agencies

These are all massive brands, each deserving of the attention and commitment that separate agencies will no doubt give them.
if you were unilever, p&g etc….Why not pick and choose the right agency for each brand? Surely the value returned to unilever will be way higher than some big behemoth one size fits all agency, that stands for nothing but making money.
There should be more of it.
