Pressure is on Dentsu to expand globally
Article Abstract:
Although it is is the largest ad agency in the world, Japan's Dentsu has failed to acquire, form or partner with a large business in Europe or the U.S. Last year's purchase of 20% of Bcom3 Group has yet to produce much in the way of results. The ostensible plan is for Dentsu to refer Japanese clients to Bcom3 offices overseas. If Dentsu is to remain independent, it may have to consider making acquisitions or forming partnerships with other agencies.
