MindShare has reported a double-digit growth in billings for the
first half of this year, thanks to new business wins and better economic
conditions across Asia-Pacific.
Its regional billings, not including Japan, for the first six months
totalled US$2.7 billion, up 17 per cent compared with the same
period in 1999. Its new business wins included Star TV across Asia,
entertainment portal Stareastnet, and Shanghai mobile telecommunications
retailer Eastern Communications.
