Management Discussion
- In North America for 2023 compared to the prior year period, increased organic revenue was driven primarily by the performance in the United States, especially in the Advertising & Media discipline, led by our media business, and our Precision Marketing, and Healthcare disciplines, partially offset by negative performance in our Experiential and Commerce & Branding disciplines, which faced difficult comparisons to the prior year, and our Execution & Support discipline. Acquisitions net of dispositions negatively impacted revenue, primarily as a result of dispositions in the Execution & Support discipline in the first and second quarters of 2023, including the sale of our research businesses, partially offset by acquisitions during the year in the Advertising & Media, Precision Marketing, and Public Relations disciplines.
