Top of Meldrum's list of high points, however, is being named SA's top agency by Objectivity Report. Close behind was winning two solid pieces of business: Procter & Gamble's Ariel account for East and West Africa, and the PharamaChoice division of Sanofi-aventis. It all added up to a 30% increase in annual income, says Meldrum.
