Hershey's Launches Legal Attack Against Cadbury And May Part Ways With Arnold and Havas

Hershey's, the decidedly inferior choice in chocolate, has launched a legal fight against the decidedly superior choice in Chocolate, Cadbury, claiming the British brand is infringing upon the domestic brand's turf. No one on Facebook is happy about this. Outrage, I tell you! Outrage!

But that's not really advertising news now is it? How about Hershey's launching a crerative agency review? Yeah, that's closer to our news mandate here at Mediapsssst. So yeah, the brand that makes stuff that barely has any actual chocolate in it wants to look beyond Arnold and Havas. 

The brand, however, isn't kicking the agencies to the curb but they are interested in fishing for new ideas. Hershey Spokeswoman Anna Lingeris said: "We are just looking to add more agencies to the mix to help diversify the work" and develop "better effectiveness and efficiencies over time." Eesh, what a say-nothing piece of CYA business babble.

Lingeris also says the brand is looking to better integrate digital, which Havas currently handles, with traditional, which Arnold currently handles. And while the brand says it isn’t dumping the agencies, it sure sounds like they're looking for one agency to integrate what these two currently do for the brand
