    Underlining Publicis/MSLGROUP’s’s global capabilities in the strategic communications field, the group’s various consultancies when combined ranked third in the Mergermarket’s 2012 global M&A league table for PR Advisors.

     

    Globally, Publicis/MSLGROUP teams at Kekst and Company and CNC Communications and Network Consulting accounted for USD 144.61bn of combined transaction value in 2012, and a combined transaction volume of 151 deals, ranking them in 3rd place on both measures.

     

    In the US, Publicis/MSLGROUP ranked 3rd in terms of value. The group includes Kekst, CNC, Capital MSL and MSL Germany. Combined, the group accounted for USD 144.47bn in transaction value in 2012. Kekst itself ranked #2 in terms of deal volume in the US in 2012 advising on 115 transactions.

     

    Within Europe, Kekst, CNC, and Capital MSL accounted for USD 78.71bn in value, putting them in 5th place. By volume, Kekst and CNC accounted for 59 transactions, putting them in 7th place.

     

    In Germany, CNC, Kekst, and JKL accounted for USD 39.46bn in value, while CNC and Kekst had a combined deal volume of 32. That puts the Publicis/MSLGROUP companies in 2nd place by value.

     

    In France, Publicis Consultants, CNC, and Kekst accounted for USD 10.67bn in value, putting then in 4th place. By volume, Publicis and Kekst accounted for 28 transactions, putting them in 2nd place.

     

    Following Mergermarket’s own methodology, Publicis/MSLGROUP’s analysis only takes into account companies that make the top 20 on a global or regional basis, and the top 15 on a country basis. Whilst providing a useful snapshot of Publicis/MSLGROUP’s performance, the results will however therefore underestimate the true market position of the combined business value and volume at MSLGROUP.

     

    Entities at Publicis/MSLGROUP working in the Financial Communications space, and who submit data to Mergermarket, include Kekst, CNC, JKL, Publicis Consultants, Capital MSL, MSL Germany, MSL Italia, Ciszewski MSL and MSL India.

    Publicis Groupe’s financial communications consultancies in Asia – operating as part of the MSLGROUP network – have been ranked third by volume for Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) deals, according to mergermarket, a leading M&A intelligence service in the ‘mergermarket League Tables of PR Advisers’ for Q1 2012.

     

    MSLGROUP is Publicis Groupe’s flagship strategic communications and engagement company and the largest public relations and social media network in Greater China and India.

     

    The mergermarket study analyzed the Q1 performance (January to March 2012) of PR advisors in Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) deals and placed Publicis Groupe’s financial communications consultancies third in terms of number of deals and eighth in terms of collective deal value ($978 million) within Asia Pacific. This represents a jump in ranking from 49th to eighth by value and from the 19th to third by volume.

     

    In Asia Pacific, the mergermarket report has considered four deals advised by Publicis Groupe’s financial communications consultancies – three by Hanmer MSL and one by MSL China.

     

    mergermarket based its ratings on deal values – considering only those over $5million – and number of deals struck. The ‘mergermarket League Tables of PR Advisers’ Q1 2012 is part of the ‘mergermarket’ report that not only evaluates and analyses M&A transactions all over the world on a quarterly and annual basis; but also the performance of PR advisors who act as strategic counsel.

     

    Commenting on the achievement, Jaideep Shergill, Chief Executive Officer of Hanmer MSL, India said: “The global economy has been witnessing consolidation across industries, much of it in the form of mergers and acquisitions. We sense immense opportunities in the M&A space for our finance practices inAsia, especially at a time when many European, American and even Asian firms are looking for quality acquisitions in the region.”

     

    Hanmer MSL India managed M&A communications for leading Indian business groups including Piramal Healthcare (acquisition of 5.5 per cent stake in Vodafone India by Piramal Healthcare), Network 18 Group (acquisition of 100 per cent stake in Eenadu Group by Network 18) and Binani Industries (acquisition of 100 per cent stake in 3B – The Fibreglass Company by Binani Industries).

     

    MSL China advised and managed communications for the Neiman Marcus Group on the US based company’s merger with Glamour Sales Holding, an online retail company, inChina.
