6.7% Revenue Rise for Omnicom

Omnicom reported its strongest increase in organic revenue so far this year, notching a 6.7 percent gain in the third quarter. In the first nine months of 2010, Omnicom said organic revenue — which factors out the impact of acquisitions and currency fluctuations — increased 5 percent.
 
Speaking to financial analysts, John Wren (shown), Omnicom’s chief executive, sounded upbeat about the results, saying he was “pleasantly surprised” by growth in the U.S. during the quarter and renewed strength in parts of Europe like the U.K.
