Friendly Ice Cream Corp. taps Zimmerman as agency of record

Nation's Restaurant News, Jan 14, 2008

WILBRAHAM, MASS. -- Friendly Ice Cream Corp. has picked Omnicom Group's Zimmerman Advertising of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., as agency of record for its Friendly's Restaurants chain.

Zimmerman, the 15th largest agency in the United States, won the $25 million account after an initial review involving five agencies was whittled to three. Sun Capital Partners of Boca Raton, Fla., acquired Friendly last summer, and the agency review began in October.

Zimmerman will be responsible for creative, strategic planning, media and production services for the family-dining chain, which has more than 500 units in the Northeast.
