H&R Block has shifted various portions of its account to select Publicis Group agencies.

Fallon expanded its seven-year relationship with H&R Block by adding media planning and social media strategy and creative to its existing brand strategy and creative duties. MediaVest | Spark will handle broadcast media buying and SpaientRazorfish will handle digital media management. OMD previously handled media planning chores.

"Fallon continues to impress with creative ideas and business solutions. This expanded partnership will allow us to better integrate creative and media across channels, so we are very excited about this next chapter of our relationship," said Kathy Collins, chief marketing and strategy officer for H&R Block.

H&R Block spent $174 million on measured media in 2016, per Kantar Media.
