New business / billings: We have won pitches worth £28m in 2013.
Summary of the year so far: "Awards success (including the Grand Prix at the Thinkbox TV Planning Awards 2013); the launch of SOURCE, our new game-changing planning system; £28m of pitch wins and some exciting new appointments at the top of the agency mean we’ve had a busy and successful first half. But as the old football cliche goes, no-one ever won the game at half-time. There’s still a lot of hard work to be done in the second half of 2013."
