THE WORLDWIDE MEDIA AGENCY NETWORKS. BILLINGS & RANKINGS MARCH 2005
Projected 2004 BILLINGS / Definitive 2003
USA Methodology
RECMA local
investigation
* last market investigation: September 2004
* RECMA met, at least once, with all the networks’ local managing directors since 2003
Media Core billings
For each international network, RECMA established an “Agency Profile sheet” including all the
agency clients with spending greater than M$5. RECMA presents spending tracked by TNS Media
Intelligence/CMR (Analyse of the Top 2500 advertisers). The “projected 2004” figures are
calculated from the CMR data mid-2004 (Jan-Jun) which are doubled in order to estimate data for
the whole year 2004.
In the “Agency Profile sheets” details on the assignments are given client by client except when the
agency handles the entire media account (no specific comments).
Sources &
Methodology
Particular cases:
* When the planning and buying accounts are clearly split between two media agencies:
RECMA allocated half of the budget to each media agency.
i.e.: General Motors: planning handled by Starcom (GM Planworks) and buying handled by Universal
McCann (GM Mediaworks)
* When the buying is handled by a network and the planning by a full service agency:
RECMA allocated 2/3 of the budget to the network – 1/3 to the full-service agency.
i.e.: Burger King: MindShare handled the buying account while Crispin Porter was assigned for the
planning account
* When a client works with several media agencies:
RECMA provides details on the parts handled by each agency, then we looked either at the Top
Advertisers by brands or the breakdown by media and allocate the amount corresponding to the
assignments.
i.e.: Ford: shared between MEC and MindShare (handles Ford brand and dealers only)
The TNS/CMR data 2004 are based on 17 Media: Network TV, Cable TV, Spot TV, Syndication TV,
Hispanic TV, Magazines, Sunday Magazines, B-to-B Magazines, Local Magazines, National
Newspapers, Newspapers, Network Radio, National Spot Radio, Outdoor, Internet, Hispanic Magazines
and Hispanic Newspapers.
In order to take into account the spending not monitored by CMR, RECMA considers each local
office (typically handling 15 accounts) of a network bills M$1 for each client. See details in the
“Agency Profile sheets”. It varies from M$45 for MediaVest (3 offices) to M$315 for Initiative (21
offices).
* Nest step: the “projected billings 2004” will be revised in the next report further to an analyse of the
TNS/CMR Top 3000 advertisers with data 2004.
Diversified Services (DS) in the US :
Methodology for estimating theoretical billings
1
Most of the networks declared to us a percentage of their income coming from the “diversified services”. Nevertheless,
these rates, which vary from 10% to 30%, are hard to justify and cannot be retained for calculating DS billings. Indeed, it
will falsely increase the billings volumes and change the networks’ hierarchy based on media core business.
After developing a robust methodology to estimate billings for the core media business, which consist in compiling the
networks “Client Portfolio” and estimate the accounts value thanks to the TNS/CMR ad monitoring data (accounts with
spending greater than M$5 only), RECMA does want to add inaccurate DS billings figures which will result in distorting
the ranking and annual growth rates.
2
The starting point to estimate DS billings is to understand the practices of the industry.
In November 2004, RECMA submitted to each network a one-page inventory of their diversified services split into 13
categories. These tables were returned to us with staff figures by unit and billings for some of them.

THE WORLDWIDE MEDIA AGENCY NETWORKS: BILLINGS REPORT MARCH 2005
USA Methodology (2)
2
According to these figures, we found out that the average ratio “billings/ staff “ of 4 was consistent for several networks,
and therefore could be applied to the other agencies.
How to explain that this ratio is much lower than the average ratio “billings/ staff” of 10 estimated for the media core
business?
Does it mean that the staff in DS units is twice less productive than in the traditional media departments such as
broadcast buying?
Or, does it mean that the budget amounts spent into DS are too small to achieve economy of scale like in the traditional
media buying?
3
From our perspective, the main reason is that a major part of the budgets allocated to the “non-traditional media” is
spent in the traditional media, hence already included in the « media core business » figures.
The networks’ managers would only be able to indicate to us the amount of the specific fees paid for the diversified
services and capitalized in theoretical billings, but without double counting the buying figures from traditional media.
4
Hence, RECMA evaluates the DS billings volume according to the staff numbers.
To this end, we have collected the staff numbers 2004 for all the networks’ DS units, and multiplied the total “DS staff”
by 4 in order to obtain a theoretical billings’ amount, to be added to the “CMR media core” billings.
In the ranking “by brand”, RECMA excludes the specialties that are “distant” from the media core business such as
companies specialised in research (i.e.: MMA), directory and yellow pages (i.e.: The Wahlstrom Group), wholesale of
print and newspapers (i.e.: Novus or Newspaper Services of America), etc.
5
This tentative methodology is a first step.
During the year 2005, RECMA will investigate further on the diversified services in the US and will improve the
accuracy of its DS billings and staff numbers by modulating the ratio of 4 according to the specialty categories

THE WORLDWIDE MEDIA AGENCY NETWORKS. BILLINGS REPORT March 2005
Projected Billings 2004 / Definitive 2003
USA Key findings
* M$ 83 575 in 2004; 8% growth over 2003
Size of the
market (based
* The US market weights 37% of the global media activity (Europe 33% and Asia 27%
including most of the local players)
on the ranking by
Agency)
* staff number: +2.3% for the networks (8 669 staff)
Market Share
* The 11 networks account for about 55% of total market volume
* Ad spending totalled more than $141 billion in 2004, an increase of 9.8% over the
previous year, according to figures released by TNS Media Intelligence/CMR
(this figure is not comparable with the RECMA media activity billings)
* 40% of the US ad spending are handled either by full-service agency (see table),
independent media agencies or through in-house marketers’ media departments or
directly by advertisers (locally).
Market
particularities
* In the US, two networks operate two separate agencies:
- SMG: Starcom (hq Chicago) and MediaVest (hq New York) have different
management teams, positioning, profile and process while the two brands are linked in
all other markets.
- ZenithOptimedia: Zenith Media and Optimedia are also distinct with a different
management and profile.
Consequently, RECMA ranked the four agencies individually in the ranking by Agency,
and combined them into two groups in the ranking by Group of networks.
Independent
agencies from

international
networks
Ratio
billings/staff
* The leading US media independent agency is Horizon Media with $1bn of billings and
300 staff (half of the smaller agency part of a network, Optimedia)
* RECMA identified 13 independent media agencies weighting 7.6% of the market
(M$ 6 370 and 1157 staff)
*The ratio Billings / Staff for the Independents is 5.5 compared to 8.4 for the Networks
* average market ratio: 7.5 (8.4 for the networks)
* above:
Optimedia 10.5; MediaVest 10.2; OMD 9.9; Universal McCann 9.9;
MindShare 9.5 mainly due to high-profile accounts (high productivity).
* below:
Carat 6.1; Zenith Media 6.5; MPG 6.9 due to their average size (ranked n°8, 11 and 12)
* the staff numbers includes all the departments and subsidiaries (Diversified Services):

Starcom MediaVest Group posted the highest billings increase in absolute value (MediaVest +585;
Starcom/Starlink +720) with a growth rate of 10.9% (12.6% for MediaVest; 9.9% for Starcom/Starlink).
•
The Top 3 Networks grows stronger: the Three first networks in terms of billings show the biggest billings increase
accounting for half of the total networks’ growth. Besides recording significant new business wins, they also benefited
from a strong spending increase from key clients.
• Initiative
US Group is stable while the only declining network is MPG (excluding the losses of Volkswagen and
Intel for 2005)
• MediaCom
posted the highest growth rate in 2004 partly due to a significant spending increase of its key clients
(Warner +215, GSK +175) and an additional +M$350 new business wins. The loss of P&G will in majority be
reflected into the billings 2005 (offset by the win of Volkswagen for 2005).
Groups of competitors
The market is now clearly dominated by three Groups / Agencies (with a common management) weighting for 40% of
the US market estimated by RECMA:
• GroupM (CEO Irwin Gottlieb): nearly 20% market share in 2004, which should increase to 25% minimum
in 2005 with the integration of MediaCom and consequently will overtake the leader, Publicis.
• Starcom
MediaVest Group (CEO Jack Klues): with nearly 16% market share in 2004, SMG is the leading
group operating two strong media agencies
• OMD
(CEO Joe Uva): with 12% market share, the network is majority fuelled by clients from Omnicom
advertising agencies: BBDO, DDB and TBWA.

• The
Networks’ DS accounts on average for 14% of the total billings
has the biggest share of DS because of the integration of MMA and Copernicus (billings amounted to M$670).
On the other hand, Initiative US Group includes Newspapers Services of America (M$1000) and ID Media (M$300)
among other affiliated companies.
• Universal McCann and ZenithOptimedia have the lowest billings volume from diversified services due to the few
specialised units developed.

Also, Projected figures 2005 will be established according to the account moves recorded during the last 6 months (see
tables “Major US accounts moves”).
