Anti-Smoking Ad Account to Livingston: The State Department of Health Services has decided to keep its $16-million anti-smoking advertising account at the Venice agency Livingston & Keye. Livingston is an offshoot of the now-defunct agency that formerly handled it, Keye/Donna/Pearlstein. The Los Angeles agency Davis, Ball & Colombatto filed a protest with the state after it failed to win the ad business last week. Davis, Ball contended that the state failed to give adequate consideration to its proposal. An administrative law judge rejected the claim.
