Carat / Aegis (UK)


Carat is Europe's largest full service media specialist, and the #3 worldwide. According Recma, billings were $26.3bn in 2006. The agency's parent is independent media services group Aegis, ranked by Advertising Age as the #6 ad organisation worldwide in 2007 with revenues of around $2.2bn. Although Carat remains its best-known brand, the group has devoted much of its time recently to the creation of affiliated global networks, such as market research group Synovate, secondary media network Vizeum and interactive brand Isobar. In 2005, Aegis became the focus of acquisition talks, with rival bidders including Havas, Publicis and WPP. None of these discussions has yet culminated in a deal.
