It's positive all round!

The details:

• At IPG: Total salary and staff incentive expenses rose 12 percent to $1 billion.
• At WPP: The total number of employees increased 3.5% from December 2009 to 102,759,
• At Omnicom: Salary and service costs as a percentage of revenue increased 1.5% to about $2.2 billion.

It's great to see agencies growing again, after such a "hold and wait".  Let's hope the GFC has taught some valuable lessons, and we move forward, smarter and less complacent!

IPG is looking healthy again! It last saw positive territory in Q1 2009 — eighteen long months ago -congrats!!:
