Publicis Groupe posted 9.4 percent growth in Q1 net revenues to $4B as the French firm enjoyed a record new business run, according to CEO Arthur Sadoun. It was up 4.9 percent organically.
Sadoun said Publicis chalked up “a dozen material wins across diverse sectors, geographies and expertise," which will enable it to “offset the potential effects of the deteriorating macroeconomic context.”
