Agencies aim to crack States
Article Abstract:
European agencies are set to strengthen their presence in the US in spite of discouraging competition from large players of Chicago, IL, and New York. Publicis, one of two major groups that recently upped their US presence, paid around $70 million to acquire Hal Rainey & Partners of San Francisco, CA, in May 1998. The acquisition was an effort to enhance its North American presence for global clients such as Coca-Cola and British Airways. Meanwhile, the other group which is Carat, is allegedly looking into acquisitions after revealing US expansion plans.
