SHANGHAI - Shanghai-based AB InBev has handed creative duties for its Harbin beer summer ad campaign to Y&R Shanghai, marking the agency's first beer account.
Y&R won the three-way pitch beating incumbent agency JWT Shanghai and independent agency Nitro.
JWT Shanghai has worked with Harbin Beer on a project basis for a few years.
