WPP's Sorrell places his bets on new media - and it's Google's YouTube not Facebook or Twitter

WPP’s Sorrell places his bets on new media – and it’s Google’s YouTube not Facebook or Twitter

By Stuart Smith on April 29, 2013

The most interesting thing about WPP Group’s first quarter financial results were not the numbers, but its chief executive’s obiter dicta. The numbers themselves were a curate’s egg. They beat the revenue forecast, bizarrely enough they delighted in Britain, but they disappointed in the United States. Which is just about the only part of the [...]

UK is the brightest spot in WPP results as advertising and media buying thrive, PR stutters

UK is the brightest spot in WPP results as advertising and media buying thrive, PR stutters

By Stephen Foster on April 26, 2013

He’s a veritable babbling (or burbling) brook that Martin Sorrell. This morning he was on the airwaves again; promoting (or defending) WPP’s first quarter results and referring inter-alia to a world economy with a ‘corrugated’ bottom, bumps here and there presumably. But at least he didn’t replicated last year’s howler when he said that paying [...]

The Chinese arrive in UK marcoms land as Blue Focus buys a fifth of quoted PR outfit Huntsworth

The Chinese arrive in UK marcoms land as Blue Focus buys a fifth of quoted PR outfit Huntsworth

By Stephen Foster on April 26, 2013

First up Huntsworth boss Lord Chadlington (Peter Gummer as was) says he wanted to buy leading Chinese PR firm Blue Focus. But now BF, led by Oscar Zhao (left), has, in effect, turned the tables by buying 19.8 per cent of Chadlington’s firm for £36.5m, valuing it at a lofty £180m. This deal has a [...]

Omnicom has the same Europe blues as Publicis Groupe - only rather more of them

Omnicom has the same Europe blues as Publicis Groupe – only rather more of them

By Stephen Foster on April 19, 2013

Investors prefer companies to be boring when it comes to announcing quarterly results and the marcoms gang looks unlikely to disappoint them. Omnicom has followed Publicis Groupe in announcing more or less ‘as you were’ figures for the first quarter of 2013; as you were in the sense of little or no overall growth compared [...]

What's going on at Publicis Groupe's DigitasLBi?

What’s going on at Publicis Groupe’s DigitasLBi?

By Stephen Foster on March 20, 2013

Last year Publicis Groupe bought international digital agency LBi for $540m and, once the dust had settled, decided to merge it with Digitas, the Boston-based digital operation it bought in 2006 for a rather more eye-watering $1.3bn. Which made you think: why does it need LBi and Digitas if the two agencies do more or [...]

Michael Roth's Interpublic finds itself back on the takeover menu - the a la carte version

Michael Roth’s Interpublic finds itself back on the takeover menu – the a la carte version

By Stephen Foster on March 12, 2013

Then there were three? There are four big marcoms holding companies (if you exclude Dentsu which is still 90 per cent Japan as it waits for clearance from China to buy Aegis): WPP, Omnicom, Publicis Groupe and interpublic (IPG). Late last year all the chatter was that Publicis Groupe had made an informal approach for [...]

IPG is the winner as GM unpicks Ewanick legacy – now Cadillac heads to Campbell Ewald

By Stephen Foster on March 12, 2013

Not that much has been going right for Interpublic (IPG) on the agency front recently but General Motors is riding to the company’s rescue. Interim CMO Alan Batey has been busy unravelling former CMO Joel Ewanick’s many controversial decisions since Joel was turfed last year and now luxury brand Cadillac is reported to be headed [...]

Was the great HSBC ad review just the bank's way of putting a rocket under JWT and WPP?

Was the great HSBC ad review just the bank’s way of putting a rocket under JWT and WPP?

By Stuart Smith on March 11, 2013

So, what was all that about? HSBC’s group marketing director Chris Clark (left) calls a review of the “£400m” (actually rather less these days) global account late last year. Well, not exactly a review. More a series of private meetings that happen to take in the incumbent agency’s rivals at Omnicom, IPG and Publicis – [...]
