Advertising Age Annual Report Reveals Impressive Growth
Across Continents

    NEW YORK, Nov. 22 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Euro RSCG
Worldwide is the largest global advertising agency for the
second year in a row, as measured by total number of global
accounts, according to the 2007 Advertising Age Global
Marketers Report. Ranked #1 in the 2006 report, Euro RSCG
Worldwide maintained its top ranking in this year's report
due to growth across all regions and a very strong new
business performance which saw the addition of the entire
$1.5 billion global Reckitt Bencksier business together
with major wins from sanofi-aventis, Kraft, ExxonMobil,
Danone Group, Alcatel Lucent, Dell, Novartis and Areva to
name a few. Euro RSCG Worldwide topped the rankings with 42
global clients and 1,167 assignments, surpassing agencies
Ogilvy & Mather and McCann Erickson Worldwide, which
together round out the top three agencies, according to the
figures released by Advertising Age this week. 

    Of the Top 100 Global Marketers listed in the report,
Euro RSCG Worldwide handles advertising for 32 of these
brands including Ford Motor Co., Reckitt Benckiser, Danone
Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Citigroup, Bayer,
Schering-Plough Corp., Carrefour, ExxonMobil, Kraft, IBM,
L'Oreal and sanofi-aventis. These responsibilities are
handled out of multiple offices across Euro RSCG's 233
offices globally. 

    "We believe an agency can be both big and
entrepreneurial, both global and creative, and this ranking
is further support for that point of view. Being named
largest agency in the world on the back of our Global
Agency of the Year titles from by Advertising Age and
Campaign caps a great year for the agency," said David
Jones, Global Chief Executive Officer of Euro RSCG
Worldwide.  "But we're more excited about the future
and not just being the biggest agency in the world but the
most digitally integrated."
