Skyy Vodka
It looks like Skyy has begun reaching out to creative agencies, after tapping Agency 5 O'Clock for its “Make. Every Day” campaign in April. We think that WPP's Mindshare, which handles the majority of parent company Campari's portfolio, is still handling media buying and planning. However, media agencies typically follow creative and vice versa.
