In 1997 McCann Erickson had grown to be the world's largest agency network. But we recognized that evolving market trends required new ways of doing business and decided to meet those changes head on. Thus, McCann Worldgroup was born. To better serve our clients, McCann Worldgroup was established as seven different companies — now eight — all delivering skills strategically essential to our clients' growth. Today these eight best-in-class companies form the world's leading marketing solutions network. The combined talents and global reach of our WorldGroup companies allows us to offer our clients tailored solutions that aim to transform their brands and grow their businesses.
