Sept 18 (Reuters) - British advertising group M&C Saatchi SAA.L on Thursday said it expects its like-for-like sales to drop this year, citing a softer second quarter as clients deferred spending amid an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop, particularly in Australia.
The company said it expects like-for-like sales to be down to around mid-single digits for the year ended December 31.
