Host/Havas loses Red Rooster and Oporto accounts to Leo Burnett

Host/Havas has lost its creative account with Australian fast-food giant Oporto just one year after winning the business.

The restaurant franchise has been moved, along with Red Rooster, to Leo Burnett after holding company Craveable Brands called a multi-agency pitch in the wake of a number of leadership changes.

Last year, Host was handed the full Craveable Brands – then known as QSR Holdings – remit when it won the Oporto account from Publicis and sister brand Chicken Treat from Marketforce. At the same time, the agency resigned from its Pizza Hut account.
