  6. Strategy, Structure and Competitive Position • Brazil, Russia, India and Greater China (BRICs) account for approximately 10% of WPP revenue today • According to Goldman Sachs research, Dreaming with BRICs*, these countries will grow at 10.4% CAGR through 2015 • According to Zenith, ad spending as a % of GDP for BRIC was 0.5% in 2001 compared to mature markets where it is 1.5% to 2% • If GDP grows in line with Goldman Sachs estimates, and advertising spending as a proportion of GDP equals that of mature markets, BRICs alone would represent approximately 25% of WPP revenue by 2015 Wilson, Dominic and Purushothaman, Roopa. 1 October 2003. “Dreaming with BRICs: The Path to 2050.” Goldman Sachs Global Economics Paper No: 99: page 9
