It was a tough year for the sector as a whole, says Parry - one of "consolidation and survival" in a struggling economy.

In the case of Momentum, it was made more difficult by budget cuts from client General Motors SA, even though the agency picked up some extra work for the motor company's Red Tag light-vehicle sales.

New accounts last year came from Pikitup, which is now Momentum's biggest client, and from Tiger Brands.
