mcgarrybowen to Open London Office

Client demand for global capabilities necessitates expansion

NEW YORK, June 2, 2010 - mcgarrybowen, recipient of Advertising Age's 2009 Agency of the Year,
announced today that it will be opening a new office in London, U.K. The
announcement was made by John P. McGarry, Jr., mcgarrybowen's Chief Executive
Officer. The agency's expansion into Europe is in keeping with Dentsu's focus
on the region as signaled by the April launch of Dentsu London.

"For quite some time, mcgarrybowen's clients have been asking us to
expand our footprint to support them in other markets," said McGarry. "In the
same way we've added depth in our service offerings to respond to our
clients' needs - adding digital, design, direct, and media services - we want
to provide our partners with the geographic breadth they need."

mcgarrybowen London will bring the agency's office count to three.
Founded and headquartered in New York, mcgarrybowen opened a second office in
Chicago in 2007. As in the past, mcgarrybowen's plan for entering the
European market is focused on its existing roster of clients.

"When we expanded into Chicago, we had two people there, but we had a
plan," said McGarry. "Through our commitment to our clients, and to the
ideology that launched the agency, we have quickly grown to 70 people in that
office. As long as it serves our clients' needs, we look to mirror that
success in London."

The team at mcgarrybowen London will be comprised of local talent who
embody the values and culture of mcgarrybowen's founding partners. John
McGarry and his creative partner, Gordon Bowen, aim to marry the ethos of a
London agency with the "special DNA that can only be found at mcgarrybowen."

"It's not a cliche to say that our people are different," said McGarry.
"We hire the best of the best if they mesh with how we do business."

"mcgarrybowen serves some of the world's most iconic global brands by
creating ideas that span cultures and borders. Increasingly, we are being
asked by clients to provide a new light to iconic brands," said McGarry. "At
the end of the day, we envision our London office to carry out the same
ideology of the rest of the agency - to create compelling work that speaks
directly to the end consumer in a way they can understand and appreciate."

"mcgarrybowen is legendary in the industry for their client relationships
and for making creative work that works," said Dentsu's Executive Officer for
the Americas and Europe, Tim Andree. "Expanding into other markets where
their clients operate is a natural outgrowth not only of mcgarrybowen's
current client strategy, but of Dentsu's vision for how an agency network can
nurture and support an agency and its clients."

"We will certainly revise our operations to reflect local tastes and
preferences," noted McGarry, "but we won't move away from what has made us
who we are as an agency."
