New York Ad Agency Suing Feed the Children

Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY -- A New York-based advertising agency is suing the Oklahoma City-based charity Feed the Children for alleged breach of contract.

Cross MediaWorks claims it has a three-year contract to do all the charity's advertising and that Feed the Children breached the contract by using Texas-based Stratmark Ltd. for direct-mail ads. Cross MediaWorks is also suing Stratmark in a separate lawsuit claiming interference with its contractual relationship with the charity.

Feed the Children says its agreement with Cross MediaWorks isn't valid and that the agency knew for years and never objected that another company was used for mailings.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Oklahoma City asks for unspecified compensatory damages.
