            This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Statement on
Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
September 26, 1997 (the "Schedule 13D") 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 December 1997, Publicis purchased an additional 80,832 Ordinary
Shares at an aggregate purchase price of $213,276.46, 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 December 30, 1997, Publicis
beneficially owned (i) 1,607,492 Ordinary Shares of the Issuer and (ii) options
to purchase an additional 500,000 shares. Such 1,607,492 Ordinary Shares
represented approximately 53.5% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer, based
on the 3,004,000 shares outstanding as of July 28, 1997. Such options to
purchase an additional 500,000 shares represented approximately 16.64% of the
outstanding shares of the Issuer.

            Publicis acquired beneficial ownership of 1,526,660 shares and of
options to purchase an additional 500,000 shares pursuant to the Agreement among
Publicis, the Issuer and the Shareholders. Publicis acquired beneficial
ownership of an additional 80,832 shares 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 1,607,492 shares.

            (c) The following table sets forth the transactions involving shares
of the Issuer which have been effected by Publicis within the past sixty days.
These transactions were market purchases effected in the over-the-counter
