The Nasdaq stock market has put its $30 million creative and media account up for review.

Pitching against six other shops is incumbent Messner Vetere Berger McNamee Schmetterer/Euro RSCG in New York – which, along with predecessor shops, has handled the account since 1989.

The sextet facing Messner Vetere comprises: Arnold Worldwide Partners in Boston and its Havas-owned sibling McKinney & Silver in Raleigh, North Carolina; WPP shops J Walter Thompson and Young & Rubicam Advertising, both in New York; Grey Worldwide, also in New York; and the Richards Group in Dallas (the only shop in the race not owned by a Nasdaq-listed company).
