Advertising agency MMB has successfully defended the $25 million Jiffy Lube International Inc.'s creative advertising business, the agency said this week.

Houston-based Jiffy Lube had placed the account in review earlier this year. MMB beat out two other finalists: Colby & Partners in Los Angeles and Cole & Weber United in Seattle.

MMB in Boston has handled the creative portion of the business since 2001 and crafted television campaigns using the tagline "The well-oiled machine."
