HOUSTON, July 20 /PRNewswire/ — Boston-based advertising agency MMB successfully defended the $25 million Jiffy Lube International account and will continue its relationship as agency of record for the leader in the fast lube category. MMB has handled the Jiffy Lube advertising program since 2001 but the account was put up for review earlier this year.
MMB beat two other finalists, Dentsu’s Colby & Partners and WPP Group’s Cole + Weber United to retain the account.
“MMB has done some fabulous creative work for us over the years and they recently expanded their capabilities to include customer-relationship marketing, interactive and non-traditional media implementation. These capabilities will help Jiffy Lube International grow the brand and stay at the top of our game,” said Lisa Carlson, global manager of marketing, Shell Lubricants-Fast Lubes. “Their presentation was very well done and it demonstrated great thought, energy and knowledge of our business.”
“Jiffy Lube wanted a new agency and that’s exactly what they’re getting with the new and improved MMB. We have expanded our core services and now offer our clients tremendous new capabilities in CRM and digital marketing,” said Fred Bertino, president and co-creative director at MMB. “We’re excited to continue our relationship with Jiffy Lube and look forward to developing more creative, customer-focused campaigns for the brand.”
MMB’s most recent work for Jiffy Lube International featured real Jiffy Lube customers who shared their compelling stories about how Jiffy Lube preventive maintenance services help them keep their busy lives on track. The campaign, which broke in April 2006, included TV, radio and print executions.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
