In Britain the Sun comes out every day - really

In Britain the Sun comes out every day – really

By Stephen Foster on February 22, 2012

Well there’s a line and a half for you but this is the one Rupert Murdoch and News International hope will persuade about two and a half million people to buy the Sun – not ‘The Sun on Sunday’ it would appear – on Sunday. That’s the number of readers supposedly up for grabs as [...]

OFT in surprise challenge to WPP and MediaCom over Brilliant Media acquisition

OFT in surprise challenge to WPP and MediaCom over Brilliant Media acquisition

By Staff on January 31, 2012

WPP’s ever-expanding gaggle of media companies – Mediacom, Mindshare, MEC, GroupM and Kinetic – have been on the regulators’ radar somewhere for some time (WPP probably wouldn’t be allowed to buy Aegis for example) but Sir Martin Sorrell’s outfit probably never expected a challenge in the north of England. But now the UK’s Office of [...]

Mindshare's Dominic Proctor moves to top GroupM role, Nick Emery to head Mindshare

Mindshare’s Dominic Proctor moves to top GroupM role, Nick Emery to head Mindshare

By Staff on January 27, 2012

The rise to media dominance of affable Brit Dominic Proctor (pictured) continues apace with his promotion to the new post of president of GroupM, increasingly the driver of WPP’s many and varied media operations which include Mindshare, MediaCom, MEC and out of home operation Kinetic. Equally dramatic is the promotion of Mindshare’s London-based chief strategy [...]

News International reviews £28m ad account - does this mean a Sun on Sunday is finally on the way?

News International reviews £28m ad account – does this mean a Sun on Sunday is finally on the way?

By Stephen Foster on January 26, 2012

It’s pretty hard to think of any UK company that’s been as deep in the mire as News International, the News Corporation-owned company that published the recently-extinguished phone-hacking News of the World. But News is reviewing its £28m account according to Campaign, suggesting that the ever-combative company has decided that sitting in the corner and [...]

WPP launches JWT Jordan, its seventh deal so far in 2012 (and it's still January)

WPP launches JWT Jordan, its seventh deal so far in 2012 (and it’s still January)

By Stephen Foster on January 25, 2012

WPP is launching JWT Jordan by way of a deal to buy 51 per cent of the assets of marketing communications firm IDEA. JWT has worked with IDEA for a number of years now and the company will be renamed JWT Jordan. This is the seventh mini-deal from so far this year by the ever-acquisitive [...]

Carat's $3bn GM win underlines global role for Aegis as rival to marcoms-owned media buyers

Carat’s $3bn GM win underlines global role for Aegis as rival to marcoms-owned media buyers

By Stephen Foster on January 25, 2012

For years now Carat owner Aegis has been seen as a tasty item on the menu for one of the acquisitive marcoms companies, possibly as one to be divided up between them as WPP for example, which owns MediaCom, Mindshare and MEC under its GroupM banner, would be prevented from buying the whole lot. Or [...]

Now Publicis Groupe snaps up $1bn Sprint media from WPP's Mindshare

Now Publicis Groupe snaps up $1bn Sprint media from WPP’s Mindshare

By Stephen Foster on January 16, 2012

Publicis Groupe boss Maurice Levy may still be waiting to see if General Motors’ Joel Ewanick dumps his company from GM’s $3bn global media account but another high profile client, Sprint’s Bill Malloy (pictured), is doing his best to soften any blow by adding Sprint’s $1bn media account to the creative and digital business he [...]

Publicis Groupe piles on media wins as troubled MEC loses $600m Novartis

Publicis Groupe piles on media wins as troubled MEC loses $600m Novartis

By Staff on December 20, 2011

Big media accounts are changing hands all over the place at the moment and Publicis Groupe is doing as well as anyone, with Starcom adding the $600m Novartis global account hard on the hells of Digitas winning $1bn Sprint in North America. PG is still waiting to see if $3bn General Motors will confirms its [...]

MEC's bad run continues with Toys R Us loss

MEC’s bad run continues with Toys R Us loss

By Staff on December 19, 2011

WPP’s creative agencies, especially Ogilvy & Mather, are having a good run in the US at the moment but on the media front, particularly at MEC, it’s not quite so good. MEC, which recently replaced North America CEO Lee Doyle with Marla Kaplowitz (left), has now lost $100m Toys ‘R US to Omnicom’s OMD and [...]

Rediffusion’s Arun Nanda tweaks WPP’s tail again with Havas MPG media tie-up

By Stephen Foster on November 4, 2011

WPP may own 26.7 per cent of Arun Nanda’s agency Rediffusion-Y&R but the veteran Indian adman is having a high old time tweaking the tail of the world’s biggest marcoms company – and its equally combative boss Sir Martin Sorrell. Earlier this week it announced that it was partnering with indie PR giant Edelman to [...]
