Emirates Business 24| 7 reports that at a media roundtable, Edmond Moutran, Chairman and CEO of Memac Ogilvy and Mather Holding, have stated that there would be serious growth in Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia this year, adding that business in the Levant and North Africa will probably double compared to 2009. Mr. Moutran also stated that the reason behind the boom is the growing understanding of the need for advertising.

"Looking at 2010, we are expecting a record year especially driven by the growth in the Levant markets such as Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Morocco as well as Abu Dhabi," added Moutran.

Miles Young, CEO of Ogilvy and Mather Worldwide, said Ogilvy and Mather Worldwide was looking at flat revenues in 2010 versus a decline estimated at10 per cent last year, in line with global industry figures. However, he noted that not much recovery was expected from the US and Europe.
