HEADLINES: Publicis regional revenue rises on acquisitions
Publicis' Asia-Pacific revenue soared 81 per cent to US$158 million last year compared with 2000. The global figure was up almost 38 per cent to $2.1 billion. The exceptionally strong performance was in part due to the inclusion of contributions from new acquisitions, including Saatchi & Saatchi, Zenith Media and Nelson Communications. Publicis grew at an organic rate of four per cent in the region and three per cent globally.
