Advertising agency
The UK advertising agency TBWA/GGT was given the Labour Party account in April 2000 [1]. In September 2004, The Times reported that TBWA had been chosen to handle the advertising for Labour's campaign for the British General Election 2005 [2]. The party will be campaigning under the slogan "Britain is working. Don't let the Tories wreck it again", and the reelection effort will be led by Blairite protege Alan Milburn [3].
