Mercedes-Benz Switches Ad Agencies: Mercedes-Benz of North America has awarded its $90-million advertising account to Scali McCabe Sloves Inc., which once made advertisements for Volvo. Scali McCabe gave up the Volvo account in November, 1990, amid controversy over a faked scene in an ad. Mercedes’ previous agency, McCaffrey & McCall, had the account for 12 years. Scali said it would divide the work on the Mercedes account between its Scali McCabe Sloves office in New York and its sister firm, the Martin Agency of Richmond, Va.
