As one that was recently laid-off from the marketing/advertising industry this is great news. Congrats to C-E and their employees!

This is great for the region as well.

Great news. I have a cousin who is a VP over there. He told me a few months back they just had to let like 20 people go because there was nothing for them to do. Hopefully they'll be able to hire them back, and then some.

Is this new business or just the Navy extending its contract with CE? In other words, was the Navy already a client of CE?

Bill says in his post that the contract was retained, and the title of the article is "Campbell-Ewald keeps Navy contract".
