Publicis Groupe grew significantly in the last quarter of 2014, ending the year with $9.62 billion in revenue, good enough to maintain its No. 3 position among ad holding companies.

Net income for all of '14, however, fell 9 percent to $815 million, due in part to costs related to acquisitions and the company's failed merger with Omnicom Group.

Revenue grew about 12 percent in the fourth quarter and 4 percent for the year, the company said today. On an organic basis, however, the growth was modest: 3 percent for the quarter and 2 percent for the full year.
