When the agency also reports a 5% rise in revenue, it's even better. Plenty of agencies, particularly on the coast, are reporting reductions this year. The agency secured four accounts last year, of which Decorland was the biggest. Vodacom and Ruwaad - the UAE-based real estate, hospitality, tourism investment and development company - also delivered business. Coles is also pleased at retaining the uShaka Marine World account, which sneaked in just before our June 30 review deadline.
