Here’s an interesting one: Ad Age reports that WPP has ‘edged out’ Omnicom in what seems to have been a two-horse race for Chinese telecoms giant Huawei (‘Hway-hay’ is what you say apparently).

Something seems to be stirring under the bonnet of the stately Ogilvy & Mather limousine (‘At sixty miles an hour the loudest…) as the WPP-owned agency has added to its triumph in sharing the $1bn SC Johnson account with Omnicom’s BBDO by pinching $500m Philips from Omnicom’s DDB, the incumbent since 2003. If this is [...]

And able to choose their own currency, GBPs have the edge over dollars and euros at the moment.
