Our revenue is dependent upon the advertising, marketing and corporate communication
requirements of our clients and tends to be lowest in the first and third quarters
of the calendar year as a result of the post-holiday slowdown in client activity
at the beginning of January and a slowdown in client activity in August primarily
as a result of the vacation season.
The particular businesses in which we participate are highly competitive. Typically,
the financial and technological barriers to entry are low, with the key competitive
considerations for keeping existing business and winning new business being
the quality and effectiveness of the services offered, including our ability
to efficiently serve clients, particularly large international clients, on a
broad geographic basis.
