Capital One, a marketer steeped in information about its customers, picks its first outside agency

Article Abstract:

Capital One Financial Corp. needs varied marketing and advertising services on a global basis, so the financial services giant hired D'Arcy Masius Benton & Bowles Communications in New York. The account could end up being a $100 million account for the agency and its other affiliates. Besides the agency's 'breadth of resources,' it also did not have any conflicts with other clients in credit cards, telecommunications or insurance.
