London-based media agency holding company Aegis Group today declined comment on reports that it is conducting a strategic review of business options such as divesting its research arm Synovate and an alliance with Paris-based Havas.

Word of the process comes less than two months after the departure of CEO Robert Lerwill, a staunch advocate for keeping the company, parent of media shop Carat and digital firm Isobar, intact and independent.

Lerwill rebuffed repeated overtures from French business magnate Vincent Bollore to forge closer ties between Aegis and Havas.
