Post-acquisition, AC will become part of global award-winning creative agency mcgarrybowen, one of the Dentsu Group's nine global network brands*, and, through collaboration with other Group companies, accelerate the Group's growth strategy in Mexico, second only to Brazil in terms of scale in the Latin American advertising market.
