These days everyone needs to have one eye on world trends, even though they may not operate globally. We felt it was crucial to be able to give our clients the data, resources and practical help that comes from being part of a worldwide network. So we joined Worldwide Partners, Inc., the largest independent agency network, with offices in over 50 markets globally. Need to know the price of a spot time in Turin? Or the latest trend in retailing in Los Angeles? Our equity stake in Worldwide Partners gives access to all information we need, and allows us to implement marketing campaigns globally. We lose none of our independence, but the network gives us valuable global access.
