DRUG OFFICE NAMES LEAD AGENCY
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy awarded Ogilvy & Mather in
New York a five-year, $129 million contract to handle the media buys for its national
youth anti-drug ad effort.
Ogilvy & Mather will replace Bates USA and affiliate firm Zenith Media, which had
been handling the buys on an interim basis since January 1998. The
use of New York-based Bates angered some lawmakers, as the firm also works for tobacco
giant Philip Morris Cos.

Drug Czar Hires Kool’s Ad Agency For Prohibitionist Propaganda -- 2 Articles
The contract is the largest media-buying pact by a government agency in U.S. history.
The ONDCP aims to place $1 billion worth of anti-drug ads over the next half-decade,
hoping to get a public service announcement for every ad bought.
The ONDCP has already selected Fleishman-Hillard’s D.C. office to handle the
campaign’s public relations components. A third firm will be named in the spring to
spur corporate involvement.
