It's the ads, stupid

Article Abstract:

Upstart ad agency M&C Saatchi runs its low-overhead Hong Kong operation out of the unfashionable Hollywood Road district, spending on people rather than rent and ancillary services. Born of Maurice Saatchi's ouster a year ago from Saatchi & Saatchi, the company has seven offices worldwide, five of them in Asia. The 10-person Hong Kong office has sparse accounts, taking up barely a quarter of a page, but its innovation and upbeat attitude may help bolster company revenues that now hinge on British Airways and Qantas.
