Findings in Advertising Age Annual Report Reveal That New Business Wins Across the Global Network Have Propelled the Agency To Top Spot

    NEW YORK, Dec. 1 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Euro RSCG
Worldwide today is the largest global advertising agency,
measured by number of accounts. Ranked #3 in the 2005
Advertising Age Global Marketers Report, Euro RSCG
Worldwide was elevated in this year's ranking due in part
to a significant business expansion with U.K.-based
household cleaning brand Reckitt Benckiser, as well as
growth in the Latin American and Chinese markets. Euro RSCG
Worldwide has 75 accounts worldwide and 1,346 assignments
surpassing agencies including Ogilvy & Mather, McCann
Erickson Worldwide, Grey Worldwide and BBDO Worldwide,
which together round out the top five agencies, according
to the figures released by Advertising Age this month. 

    Of the Top 100 Global Marketers listed in the report,
located at http://www.AdAge.com , Euro RSCG Worldwide
handles the advertising for 10 of these brands: Ford Motor
Co., Reckitt Benckiser, Danone Group, PSA Peugeot Citroen,
Citigroup, Bayer, Schering-Plough Corp., LG Group,
Carrefour and Sanofi-Aventis. These responsibilities are
handled out of multiple offices across Euro RSCG's global
network, which has footholds in North America, Latin
America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Australia
and the Pacific Islands. 

    "I am tremendously proud of our talent around the
globe, and of our ability to grow, both financially and
creatively," said David Jones, Global Chief Executive
Officer of Euro RSCG Worldwide. "The high ambitions we
have already reached are a sign of further success to
come."

    Jones continued: "While our offices in New York,
London and Paris tend to attract the most attention, Latin
America is actually one of our star performers. Regional
Director Ricardo Monteiro has led Euro RSCG to win 25
international awards and 45 local awards in 2006. China,
too, continues to boom for us, which is why we have secured
the world's largest full-time field marketing force of some
30 thousand employees in China alone."
