CHICAGO Publicis Groupe reported 2002 revenue of $3.1 billion, up 20 percent from the $2.6 billion the year before thanks to the acquisition of Bcom3 that was completed last September.

Without the addition of Bcom3, revenue was down from 2001 almost 3 percent, to $2.5 billion, the Paris-based holding company said. Organic growth for the Paris-based holding company was down almost 4 percent.
