Y&R Sydney was the incumbent agency resigning the account in February this year to work with competitor Thrifty.
At the time, Sarah Firth, Y&R Sydney MD, said: “This is an exciting time for Thrifty and we are looking forward to working with them to bring the brand to life. Unfortunately, this does mean that our long-standing relationship with the Avis Budget Group must come to an end.”
