                  This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Statement on
Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") originally filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on September 26, 1997, as amended by
Amendment No. 1 filed with the Commission on January 9, 1998, and Amendment No.
2 filed with the Commission on February 9, 1998, by Publicis S.A. and Publicis
Worldwide, B.V. (together, "Publicis"). Capitalized terms not defined herein
have the meanings assigned thereto in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                  Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

                  In February 1998, as set forth below in Item 5(c), Publicis
purchased an additional 41,000 Ordinary Shares at an aggregate purchase price of
$101,177.50, including payment of commissions. The purchase of these shares was
funded from working capital.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety
to read as follows:

                  (a) As of the close of business on February 19, 1998, Publicis
beneficially owned (i) 1,728,492 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer and (ii) options
to purchase an additional 450,000 Ordinary Shares exercisable beginning on
January 10, 1999 at a price per share of US$4.125. Such 1,728,492 Ordinary
Shares represented approximately 57.5% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer,
based on the 3,004,000 shares outstanding as of July 28, 1997.

                  Publicis acquired beneficial ownership of 1,526,660 Ordinary
Shares and of options to purchase an additional 500,000 Ordinary Shares pursuant
to the Agreement among Publicis, the Issuer and the Shareholders, a copy of
which was previously filed as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D. Publicis acquired
beneficial ownership of an additional 80,832 Ordinary Shares in December, 1997,
an additional 80,000 Ordinary Shares in January, 1998, and an additional 41,000
as specified in section (c) below.

                  To the knowledge of Publicis, none of Publicis's directors,
executive officers, affiliates or associates beneficially owns any equity
securities, or rights to acquire any equity securities, of the Issuer.

                  (b) Publicis has the sole power to vote or to direct the vote,
and to dispose or to direct the disposition of, the 1,728,492 Ordinary Shares.

                  (c) The following table sets forth the transactions involving
shares of the Issuer which have been effected by Publicis within the past sixty
