UK government switches media buying contract to Dentsu Aegis unit

LONDON (Reuters) - The British government has awarded a four-year media buying contract to a unit of advertising group Dentsu Aegis Network, the government's Cabinet Office said in a statement on Monday.

The contract, awarded to Carat, will help the government save 100 million pounds through tighter spending controls across public sector campaigning and "smarter purchasing", the Cabinet Office added.

The previous contract was held by M4C, a unit of British advertising group WPP. Dentsu Aegis Network is a unit of Japanese advertising group Dentsu .

The statement did not disclose the size of the contract.
