The article highlights the ongoing trend of mergers and acquisitions in the advertising agency sector, particularly emphasizing both the U.S. and global landscapes. Companies like Publicis and Havas are acquiring agencies to expand service offerings. Meanwhile, Crossmedia is pioneering a different approach by establishing a 'Worknet' strategy, which creates loose partnerships with independent agencies worldwide. Their new global CEO, Kamran Asghar, aims to foster growth without the cookie-cutter approaches often seen with larger holding companies, allowing partner agencies to maintain autonomy while working under a central agreement.
"Crossmedia's unique 'Worknet' strategy allows us to form loose partnerships with agencies, ensuring they retain their independence while adhering to our central service agreements."
"By promoting Kamran Asghar to global CEO, we aim to implement a unified strategy for global growth, differentiating ourselves from larger holding companies' cookie-cutter offerings."
