LONDON, April 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Advertising agencies faced significant challenges following the global economic recession in 2009 as businesses scaled back their advertising budgets. Notwithstanding Wednesday's weak U.S. economic data, the outlook for global economy has improved significantly since the start of this year. As a result, businesses could boost their advertising spending, which augurs well for companies such as Interpublic Group of Companies Inc. (NYSE: IPG), Focus Media Holding Limited (NASDAQ: FMCN), Monster Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: MWW), Omnicom Group Inc. (NYSE: OMC), and Lamar Advertising Co. (NASDAQ: LAMR). Advertising companies are also shifting their focus to mobile, which is seen by many as the future of advertising. On Wednesday, shares of all five companies fell, tracking losses in the broad market. StockCall reviewed the Advertising Agencies industry and chose IPG, FMCN, MWW, OMC, and LAMR for its technical coverage. These free reports can be seen for free at
