McGarry Bowen Snatches Viagra from McCann

Pfizer wouldn’t elaborate further, but according to Ad Week, the company’s already spent about $66 million on measured media in the first seven months of 2009. Suffice to say, it hasn’t been the best week for McCann, who had held the Viagra account since 2004.
