Publicis Groupe SA reported better-than-expected gross sales progress final quarter after the corporate’s pivot to information evaluation and digital-focused advertising helped counter strain on conventional media spending.
Web income was €3.08 billion ($3.4 billion) within the first quarter, the Paris-based promoting large mentioned in an announcement on Thursday. That in comparison with the typical €3.01 billion estimate from analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Natural progress accelerated to 7.1% in contrast with analysts’ 4.4% estimate.
