    Question

    Pallav Saini asked about the macroeconomic outlook and client sentiment for the Branded segment heading into next year, whether the Experiential segment's strong growth is outperforming expectations and has returned to pre-pandemic levels, and the current trends in wage inflation.

He confirmed the Experiential segment is outperforming expectations, driven by strong execution and growth in events per day, moving beyond simple recovery. On wages, Peacock noted that while inflation is moderating, the company's primary focus is on improving the utilization of its existing labor force. CFO Christopher Growe added that Experiential activity has not fully returned to 2019 levels but is making good progress, and that a timing shift of some activity from Q4 benefited Q3's results.
