Publicis Groupe CEO Arthur Sadoun expects the French communications combine to post 5.6 percent organic growth in 2024, which is up from his original 4.5 percent projection.
The upgrade comes as Publicis reports strong Q2 performance across its regions.
APAC enjoyed 7.7 percent growth, driven by a 10.5 percent advance in China. The US was up 5.3 percent, while Europe increased by 4.2 percent.
