Havas Group reported a 0.2 percent dip in Q3 growth to $620M largely due to a 10.9 percent decline in organic growth in the UK, where Unilever and Pernod Ricard trimmed outlays.
The French ad/PR combine produced solid gains in North America due to a revamp and "unflagging commitment of our teams," said CEO Yanick Bollore.
"Despite an ever more challenging sector environment, we remain positive over the mid-term because we believe firmly in the positive effects of our strategy and in our client-centric organization," he said in a statement. "We will be forging ahead with our strategy to make our structures and the organization of our Villages even more fluid."
Bollore expects growth from the alliance with Vivendi Group "to work together on creating a world leader in content, communication and distribution.”
Publicis Groupe posted five percent Q3 net organic revenue growth, marking “another very strong quarter” for the French-based firm, according to CEO Arthur Sadoun.
WPP chief Cindy Rose is cutting up to 1,000 jobs by the end of the year, adding to the 11K jobs lost since the start of 2025, according to a report in the Financial Times.

FTI Consulting reported a 2.6 percent drop in Q2 strategic communications revenues to $100M, a shortfall largely due to a $7.4M decline in pass-through revenues.
Omnicom CEO John Wren reported a 7.2 percent rise in Q2 “core operations” to $6B and a 6.1 percent spurt on an organic basis.
