Not only did we not experience any material cuts in marketing spend, but we also saw an acceleration in demand for our AI-led products and services.”
Net Revenue
In North America, revenue was up +7.1% on an organic basis and +3.6% on a reported basis, including a negative impact of the U.S. dollar to euro exchange rate. The U.S., the Groupe’s largest geography where its model is the most advanced, posted very strong organic growth of +7.1%, fueled by high single-digit growth of Connected Media and mid-single digit growth of Intelligent Creativity. Technology posted low single-digit organic growth this quarter, in a context of continued “wait and see” attitudes from clients on digital business transformation projects.
Across Europe, organic growth reached +2.8%, with reported growth at +2.2%. Organic growth in the U.K. was up +10.7% with double-digit growth of Connected Media and Intelligent Creativity together, and high single-digit growth of Technology. France and Germany were down organically this quarter, with Technology in both countries still affected by delayed capex spending from clients. France was also impacted by last year’s higher comparable, which benefited materially from the Paris Olympics. Excluding those two elements, France was positive. Central & Eastern Europe posted a strong +9.5% organic growth, led by Connected Media at double-digit growth.
Asia Pacific recorded +6.5% growth on an organic basis and +2.9% growth on a reported basis. China performed strongly with +6.1% organic growth, thanks to market share gains in Connected Media.
In Middle East & Africa, net revenue was -3.0% organically and -4.8% on a reported basis, mainly due to Technology facing a high comparable.
Latin America saw +9.6% organically, driven by both Connected Media and Intelligent Creativity. Reported growth was +8.5% after taking into account the depreciation of the Argentinian peso relative to the euro.
