Aegis marketing itself well in US

Contract wins including Disney and Home Depot in North America helped marketing group Aegis start 2011 with confidence after forecast-beating revenue growth last year.

The group said strong performance in its US and Asia Pacific markets, which followed a rebound in advertising markets in the second half of the year, enabled it to increase its organic revenue by 5.8 per cent in 2010.

Aegis said it expected its growth to be at least as good this year, as it benefited from acquisitions made in faster growing markets.
