30. Outlook • Global economic and political outlook is uncertain with lots of change. Many challenges and opportunities exist for short term and long term growth: • Sports marketing around the world is expected to continue to grow • Communications opportunities should arise out of the Arab Spring • Capitalise on our communications expertise in areas of conflict and thus compensate for the loss of revenue from one major client • Further expand our digital capabilities as the market place grows • Capitalise on strong growth in emerging markets • We will also continue to control costs, continue to make earnings enhancing acquisitions and remain cautious about debt
