Media agency PHD has snatched the $12m O’Brien Windscreens account from rival Ikon Communications, Mumbrella understands.

The brand is one of the highest frequency off-peak TV advertisers.

At the time of posting, nobody from O’Brien or PHD was available for comment.

The victory is likely to be all the sweeter for PHD as it narrowly missed out to rival agency Ikon in the media agency of the year category of last year’s B&T Awards.

Another fantastic win for PHD. Congratulations to Barry and his team. They certainly have a great story to tell when pitching for coveted Unilever account.
