WPP Group today reported a 3.5 percent increase in 2012 revenue to $15.6 billion thanks to “strong growth” in advertising, media investment and specialist communications.

Profit before interests and taxes climbed 7 percent to $2.31 billion and the company posted a nearly 3 percent rise in organic growth.

It was a more difficult year for WPP’s public relations and consumer insight operations, whose revenue was flat due to slower growth in mature markets like North America, the U.K.
